About Lazarus "lazzie"

Lazarus, who answers to Lazzie, Russie, or Laz, is a 3-4 year-old black Lab mix living in Houston, TX. He’s about 50 lbs, medium-sized, with a smooth, shiny short black coat and just a bit of white. Lazzie is one of those quiet dogs who finds comfort in lounging with friends—dog and human alike. He lives easily with dogs of all sizes, from a chihuahua up to a big pittie, and adapts his energy to the moment. Volunteers describe him as gentle, sweet, and surprisingly social when given the chance, enjoying adoption events and greeting strangers politely. Lazzie’s story started rough—rescued alone from a ditch in harsh Texas heat, undernourished and suffering from untreated mange and an upper respiratory infection. Since then, he’s rebounded into a healthy, strikingly handsome companion. He’s kennel trained, house trained, fully vaccinated, and neutered. He is dog-friendly and likely to do well with cats and children. Transport is included if you’re not local, but pickup location may vary depending on where you live. Give this mellow, affectionate boy the calm, caring home he finally deserves. Your new best friend is just one click away.
