Critter Details

All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Hi there! I’m Lizzy — a 3-year-old Bichon Frise mix with a heart full of love, legs full of bounce, and a nose for adventure (especially the squirrel-chasing kind). Let’s get one thing straight: I love people. Like, I’ll-follow-you-from-room-to-room kind of love. You’ll never pee alone again, promise. I’m basically your fluffy shadow, always ready for snuggles, snacks, or spontaneous dance parties. I even jumped into the bathtub once — not ’cause I needed a bath, but because I was curious and fearless (and okay, maybe a little nosy). I’m super smart and love learning new tricks. I already know sit and shake, and I figured out the doggy door on my first day. I’m crate-trained, house-trained (just give me a routine and I’m golden!), and walk beautifully on a leash — though I get a tad excited when I see other dogs or people. What can I say? I’m a social butterfly disguised as a tiny security guard. Don’t worry, I’m totally trainable — especially with treats. Speaking of training… I do have a slight obsession with squirrels and anything small and speedy. My prey drive is real, but it makes me super fun to play with. I hop like a bunny when I run, and I’m fast. Like, lightning-fast. I’d love a yard or daily walks to help me burn off my zoomies so I can take the world’s best naps (preferably on a soft rug while rubbing my back and chewing a toy) I ride like a pro in the car, and I’m good with other dogs as long as we’re introduced slowly so I can get to know them a little bit at a time. I don’t love sharing my food or special toys, so a home with understanding humans and no other dogs would be ideal. If you’re looking for a loyal, funny, snuggly, and energetic sidekick who will make you laugh every day and love you with her whole heart, I’m your girl. Let’s chase squirrels (or dreams) together. Love, Lizzy   All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped.
