My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Hey There! I'm Liza: Your Future Comedic Companion!**  Also, I am the DC Dogos Rescue COVER MODEL for our 2025 Calendar! I will do autographs by request :)

Hi, I’m Liza, and let me tell you, I’m one hilarious, young, and healthy gal! At just about a year old, currently in sunny Tampa, FL, I’m bursting with playful energy and, well, still learning my manners. But hey, who needs manners when you’re this cute? I’ve already mastered the art of giving you my paw for hotdogs or other tasty treats.

I’m working on meeting new friends and, oh boy, am I smitten with Simon! He’s just as wild and fun as I am. My humans are helping me socialize with other dogs, and they think I’ll do great. They recently gave me this weird ball that makes noises – I kicked it around like a soccer pro! My zoomies, especially in the mornings, are a sight to behold. I’ll run straight at you and then punk you out at the last second! I’m super fast, so a yard would be perfect for me to stretch my legs.

I need an active home that’s ready to keep up with my energy and help me with my training. I love going on leash walks now – I used to be like a fish out of water, but now I’m a dream to walk!

My current humans think I’d be awesome at agility work. I’m athletic and would thrive with someone dedicated to my training. I’ve come a long way since they found me, and a dog friend would be great for me too. I have so much fun with Simon, and I’m sure I’d love another buddy just as much.

When I first met men, I wasn’t a fan, but with some training and patience, I’ve started giving them kisses! That was a huge step for me, and I keep hitting new milestones every day. I’m pretty incredible, if I do say so myself.

I was one of five dogs found dumped in Naples, FL, and the shelter picked us all up. We don’t know if we were from the same person or related, but I’m so grateful to have a second chance at life. My past is behind me, and I’m ready to start a new chapter with a loving family.

So, if you’re looking for a playful, funny, and affectionate companion, I’m your girl. I can’t wait to meet you and make you laugh every day!
