About Lyza

Lyza is a charming 1-year-old long-haired Chihuahua mix, weighing in at just 6.5 pounds. Initially shy and nervous upon arrival, she has made remarkable strides in building her confidence. It’s heartwarming to see her now comfortable on a leash, eagerly anticipating walks. While new sounds or sudden movements can still startle her, she's learning to embrace each experience with growing curiosity. When meeting new people, Lyza might bark or retreat for a moment, but her inquisitive nature typically leads her back to see if they could be a potential friend. She adores toys and can entertain herself for hours, showcasing her playful spirit. Although she’s still working on her house training, she has made significant progress and sleeps quietly in her crate at night or when her foster parents are away. Lyza currently shares her foster home with another dog and would likely thrive in a similar environment, though she could also do well as an only dog with plenty of love and attention from her family. She has a gentle demeanor and just needs a patient and caring home to help her continue to bloom. Adoption fee: $500. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
