About Lazarus

Meet Lazarus, a sweet Labrador/Shepherd mix who came to us from a hoarding situation. Though he’s dealing with mange, which has caused significant hair loss and skin damage, he’s receiving treatment and is not contagious. Despite his challenging past, Lazarus is incredibly affectionate and will show his true personality with a little patience. He can be shy at first, but with kindness and reassurance, you’ll see his spirit emerge. We named him Lazarus because his journey is about transformation. Soon, his hair will regrow, his skin will heal, and he’ll blossom into the confident dog he’s meant to be. What he needs now is a foster or forever family willing to be part of his new beginning. Lazarus gets along well with children, cats, and dogs. He’s currently not house trained but is ready to learn with the right guidance. Located in Fosters, AL, we can arrange transport to the Northeast for an additional fee. Lazarus is waiting for someone to share a bright future together. Click apply to start the adoption process.
