Story
Every family deserves one dog who reminds them to slow down. That's Lizzie.
Nicknamed "Lounge Lizard Lizzie," this sweet girl has turned relaxation into an art form. Whether she's stretched across the couch, soaking up the sunshine in the yard, or supervising life from the patio, Lizzie is happiest simply being near her people.
She may be a little reserved when you first meet her, but don't let that fool you. Give her a little patience, a handful of gentle pets, and maybe a piece of popcorn, and you'll discover one of the sweetest, most loyal companions you'll ever know. Once you earn her trust, you'll be greeted with an enthusiastic helicopter tail every time you walk through the door, and she'll happily shadow you around the house just to make sure she doesn't miss out on anything.
Lizzie is also surprisingly clever. She's a puzzle toy champion, loves figuring out treat games, and every now and then will break into an adorable game of fetch—especially if belly rubs are part of the deal.
She is 4 yrs old, 29 lbs, fully housetrained and has wonderful manners indoors. She'll quietly let you know when she needs to go outside with a soft whimper or by waiting patiently at the back door.
Lizzie dreams of a home with a fenced yard where she can wander, sniff the breeze, listen to the birds, and stretch out in the sunshine. She's still building confidence on leash walks, so a family willing to let her learn at her own pace will help her continue to blossom.
Because she's a gentle soul, Lizzie would thrive in a calm home as an only dog or with another easygoing canine companion. (She hasn't met cats yet.) She isn't looking for adventure every minute of the day—she's looking for someone to share life's quiet moments with.
If you've been searching for a loyal best friend who believes the perfect day includes sunshine, snacks, belly rubs, and simply being by your side, Lizzie has been waiting for you.
