About Lizzie

Meet Lizzie, a sweet German Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog mix looking for her forever home. Residing near Nashville, TN, Lizzie is about 5-6 years old and currently in a foster home, getting ready for local adoption. Having found her way to the rescue as a pregnant stray, Lizzie has come a long way in her journey. She's timid and reserved, taking her time to trust, but once she does, she has so much love to give. Lizzie thrives in a calm environment, making a home with teenagers or adults a perfect match for her. She’s good with large male dogs, which can help her build confidence, but she does not get along with cats. A fenced backyard is essential for Lizzie, where she can safely play and explore. She's already house and crate trained, and while she may need some help with obedience training, she’s eager to learn. Lizzie is a quiet and loyal companion, looking for someone who will appreciate her gentle nature. If you're committed to giving her the time she needs to open up, consider making Lizzie part of your family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
