She’s full of classic Jack Russell charm—smart, curious, and always ready to jump into the next adventure. Lisa enjoys staying active, playing with toys, and exploring her surroundings. She thrives when she has things to do and people to share her energy with, and she forms strong, loving bonds with those she trusts. If you’re looking for a fun, spirited companion who will keep life exciting and full of affection, Lisa is ready to race right into your heart. This sweet girl is up to date on vaccines and will be spayed upon adoption. She is heartworm positive but don't let that keep you from giving this sweet girl the loving forever home she deserves.

Story
Meet Lizzie, a resilient survivor with the softest coat and the sweetest heart. Lizzie’s story began behind a Piggly Wiggly in Camden, AL, where she and her friends Buster and Belle were struggling to survive. Severely emaciated, covered in ticks and fleas, and frightened by the busy world around her, Lizzie’s chances looked slim. But with rescue, safety, and care, she blossomed into a healthy, happy pup. Now her true personality shines. Lizzie is endlessly snuggly and sweet, the kind of companion who loves nothing more than curling up close. Her short coat is silky soft, and her gentle nature makes her a joy to be around. Lizzie has made a full recovery and is thriving, but her heart still beats strongest when she’s near her best friend Buster. Ideally, these two inseparable companions would find a home together, where they can continue their journey side by side. If you’re ready to open your heart to a loving, resilient pup (or maybe even two), Lizzie is waiting to meet you.
