Lizzie
Meet Lizzie, she is a 9 year old speyed female German Shepherd cross that was brought to the Bath Cats and Dogs Home in January 2005, as she was chasing livestock. Affectionate and very loyal Lizzie is wonderfully friendly once she knows you and trust is established.
She does however have a tendency to be very protective of her owner, home and when out on the lead and has a general mistrust in strangers. She does love her walks and is only strong on the lead when excited and will calm down after a while. Fun, happy Lizzie is very playful and bouncy that loves her cuddles, being groomed and a bit of a fuss made over her.
Sadly Lizzie is going blind by an allergic reastion she has suffered. Our vets have never seen such an aggresive case, as she is now 3/4 blind in one eye and 1/3 blind in the other and at this rate in 2 months time if it continues she will be completely blind. The very best scenario for poor Lizzie is that her condition slows down, so we are desperatley seeking a new home for her where she can fine her way about before she looses her sight.
She is on eye drop medication for life and takes it very well, but because of her condition will need a non smoking household and where there isn’t a smokey atmosphere, i.e. bonfires. Although she has been mixed with other dogs here at the Home she picks and chooses her canine friend and is seeking a nice calm, relaxed household where she is the only pet and without children. She would make a most rewarding and loyal companion to anyone willing to give her a chance.
Can you give our lovely girl a new home before she looses her sight?
