More from Rizzo:

I'm a playful girl that loves my humans but I need to be the only dog in the home... I also love camping, snuggling, chasing squirrels, traveling and hiking. I do have separation anxiety so would do best where someone is home with me most of the time and can take me with them when they go somewhere.

Lizzie will get along great with your other dogs. Lizzie is already spayed, and she has had all her shots.

More from Lizzie:

I was dumped at the shelter a bit of a mess. I had a lot of growths on my legs that were removed. My one ear was removed and I need surgery to remove the ear canal in my other ear, due to a large growth coming out of it. I will be deaf after the surgery but I don't hear much now so it won't bother me.
