Story
Lizzie is known for her joyful “happy hops” like a little bunny. She bounces when she’s excited to see her people and it’s the cutest thing. She’s affectionate, silly, and deeply devoted once she bonds. At home, she’s an absolute dream: fully housebroken, trustworthy when left alone, non-destructive, and content to snooze most of the day. She happily free roams, sleeps through the night, and will curl up in bed with you if invited (she firmly believes she’s a lap dog).
We believe Lizzie is an American Bully mix, of course, with rescue, that’s just our best guess! At 5 years old, and weighing in at 80 lbs, this gal is nothing but easy going, the queen of naps, and some would even say closely resembles a baby cow.
Lizzie is known for her joyful “happy hops” like a little bunny. She bounces when she’s excited to see her people and it’s the cutest thing. She’s affectionate, silly, and deeply devoted once she bonds. At home, she’s an absolute dream: fully housebroken, trustworthy when left alone, non-destructive, and content to snooze most of the day. She happily free roams, sleeps through the night, and will curl up in bed with you if invited (she firmly believes she’s a lap dog).
She’s a smart cookie too! Lizzie knows sit, shake, and is highly food-motivated, making learning easy and fun. She takes treats gently and has done beautifully with respectful, steady kids, especially older children who are comfortable around big dogs. Her cuddle game is top-tier, whether it’s couch time, computer work, or relaxing after a long day. Lizzie just wants to be where her person is. Lizzie enjoys quiet adventures like the beach, Home Depot trips, and farmers markets. She’s happiest when she can take it all in at her own pace, especially when people give her a little personal space.
At home, she’s incredibly easygoing. Lizzie loves warm bubble baths, prefers dry paws (wet grass is not her favorite!), and is polite around food. She’s learned that meals and treats are always coming, and her foster reports she’s made wonderful progress with sharing space peacefully. She coexists beautifully with cats, puppies, horses, tortoises, and even mini cows, often completely uninterested. Really, she’s simply happy to hang out near her person.
Lizzie bonds deeply and tends to choose “her person,” thriving best with someone who enjoys a close, companion-style relationship. She does best in a calm, predictable home where she can feel safe, understood, and gently guided. She is dog friendly and has done great with all of the dogs in her foster home. From puppies to even large great danes. Lizzie loves to play and plays like she’s a contender in wrestle mania. She is bouncy, uses her whole body, and likes to talk about it all while keeping things fun and lighthearted. She’s just a big gal and with that comes bigger play styles. No need to worry about your home being a 24/7 doggy day care, not even close. Play time doesn’t last long with Lizzie, it’s very short lived LOL and then she’s ready for the biggest cat nap. She would also be completely content being the only dog and the center of your world. It’s her favorite place to be anyways.
She’s crate trained, comfortable being crated when needed, and often chooses her crate on her own for naps. She sleeps a lot (about 21 hours a day!) and has one short burst of zoomies daily, that’s her idea of exercise. A big yard isn’t necessary; Lizzie is low-energy and content with companionship over activity. Above all, Lizzie is a loyal, affectionate soul who wants nothing more than to share life quietly with her person. Whether that’s during a bubble bath, while you work on your laptop, or as she naps nearby soaking up the warmth. She’s the definition of a companion dog: steady, loving, and endlessly comforting.
We are willing to test Lizzie with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.
Ready to welcome a lovable, goofy, sunbathing, ride-or-die girl into your life? Lizzie's waiting with a heart full of love and the best happy hops you've ever seen.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
