lizzie

Lizzie is an approx. 3-year-old, 10 1/2 lb. snuggle bug. This long-hair chihuahua is a super chill and loving dog who enjoys hanging out with her person on the couch. Poor Lizzie was abandoned in an apartment in a small crate with no food or water, and it was two weeks before she was discovered. She was shy at first but then started to gain trust. Lizzie gets along well with all people and is in a home with other small dogs and does great. We have not seen her around a cat but believe she would be fine. Lizzie is both potty trained and crate trained. She sleeps all night in her foster mom's bed. She will also chase toys when you throWhen it comes to car rides, she’s happy to let someone else navigate and prefers to relax in the back seat. Bath time, however, is not on Lizzie's list of favorite things! She’ll let you know how she feels by taking off like her life depends on it. Lizzie does great on walks, although she will bark at people, other dogs and loud vehicles. Don’t let the barking fool you—it’s all bark and no bite. Once she has a chance to meet someone, she is as sweet as can be. We are requiring a fenced yard for her. Lizzie is heartworm positive at this time, and is on the slow kill protocol, which we can explain that process to any interested applicant. She can enjoy regular activities. Heart worm disease is contracted from an infected mosquito and can not be transmitted to another dog. Lizzie can't wait to find her forever home and person - could that be you? If so, and you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area, complete an app and tell us more about you.
