About Lizzie

Meet Lizzie, a sweet girl with an endearing smile and a wise spirit. After being a wonderful mom to her four puppies, she’s ready to find her forever home and focus on herself. Lizzie loves sunbathing in the yard, watching squirrels, and playing tug-of-war. She's potty trained and knows how to sit; she comes running when you whistle—especially if treats are involved. This affectionate pup adores people and would love to have a canine friend in her new home for playtime. Lizzie is quite attached to her humans, so she can experience some anxiety when left alone. She’s learning to build her confidence with ongoing support and reassurance. While she enjoys hugs and jumps into your arms when she's excited, a serene environment without small children would suit her best since she can be startled by sudden loud noises. If you’re searching for a loyal companion with plenty of love and smiles, come visit Lizzie at Tails!
