About Lizard

Lizard is a lovable Catahoula Leopard Dog mix with a gentle spirit and a cheerful energy. At just over two years old, he has quickly won over the shelter staff with his sunny personality. He greets each morning with happy zoomies, but he’s just as quick to settle down for some affectionate downtime once he’s had his play. Lizard knows how to sit, likes working with people, and is ready to pick up new skills. He’s house trained, gets along well with other dogs, and would do equally well as a family companion or with someone looking for a friendly second dog. No fenced yard is needed for Lizard, and he’s great with children. Meeting spots for adoption are arranged along common transport routes throughout the region for approved applicants. Please note that adoption is not available to Massachusetts or Rhode Island residents due to transport rules. Lizard promises loyalty, playfulness, and calm once his initial energy fades—he may be the fun, easygoing friend you’ve been hoping for. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
