About Lizzie

Lizzie is a lovely 13-year-old West Highland White Terrier with a gentle spirit and an abundance of love to share. Recently, she faced the heartbreaking loss of her owners, which turned her world upside down. Thanks to a compassionate neighbor, Lizzie made her way to Westie Rescue Southeast, where she found warmth and stability. Settled into her foster home, Lizzie is ready for a new chapter and seeks a quiet, loving environment to call her own. As a typical senior Westie, she’s calm and affectionate, preferring to be close to her person. A serene atmosphere is best for her, as she appreciates the slower pace of life. Lizzie can be selective about her canine companions, so an ideal home would be as an only dog or with a calm, respectful partner. She remains healthy, aside from natural age-related considerations, and thrives with routine care. She’s looking for a family that values her golden years, with minimal chaos around her. All adopters must have a fully enclosed backyard and no children under 10. Lizzie deserves a safe, loving space to feel cherished once more. Ready to make a difference in Lizzie's life?
