Fostering and getting to know Lizzie has been an absolute dream. Being a senior shepherd (around 9 years old), she carries herself with years of wisdom. She is a fantastic listener, walker and extremely smart. She is crate trained, fully potty trained, loves her choke collar for walks, knows regular commands, and can be by herself for a few hours no problem. She loves to play fetch or gentle tug of war if you get her riled up, but is in her happy place splayed out on the couch sunbathing and hanging - or on her back getting belly rubs of course.
She is incredibly easy-going and just loves to be nearby and cuddled up by your feet when you're working or hanging—she's the best and chillest companion you could ask for. She loves all people and is very trusting. Despite years of neglect and a rough past, she has such an amazing, happy spirit and continues to come out of her shell every day - like she is growing younger not older.
She has epilepsy, which has been completely under control with her daily medication. She has come a long way with her walks and has gotten used to going up and down a flight of stairs despite struggling at first, and she knows her limits; if she is getting tired she'll just happily turn us around to walk back home.
She's great with kids and does not have a prey instinct. We believe she would adjust to other dogs with proper introduction as well.
Please note that Lizzie is a courtesy post and not a Wags & Walks dog. If you are interested in adopting or learning more about her, contact Jenny at 310-600-3647.
