About Lizzie

Meet Lizzie, a gentle soul ready to find her forever home. She thrives in a cozy environment, perfect for a quiet evening spent on the couch with her favorite snacks nearby. Formerly a stray in Houston, Lizzie was found pregnant and is now spayed, eager for a family that can offer her the love she deserves. Day to day, Lizzie is laid-back and enjoys the sweetness of life. She loves belly rubs and the occasional outdoor break, though she’s generally happiest lounging inside. New faces might put her at ease after some initial hesitation, but with gentle patience, she warms up. Once she chooses you, prepare for plenty of snuggles. While Lizzie is crate trained and mostly house trained, she still needs a little guidance with leash walking. Her careful nature can shine through when exploring the outdoors, and tasty treats are the best motivators for helping her gear up for walks. Socially, Lizzie enjoys being around other dogs, though she embraces her own space during mealtime or naptime. She can be a bit finicky with new sounds in her environment, often growling at the Roomba or the washing machine, showing her quirky personality. Lizzie is not looking for a bustling, high-energy home; instead, she seeks a calm, patient owner who appreciates her shy charm. If you think you can give Lizzie the loving home she needs, don’t hesitate to apply. Your new best friend is just one click away.
