My story

Lizard is a 4-year-old little guy who’s just starting to discover what it means to be a dog. His early life was far from easy, as he spent years as a breeding dog, left outdoors in a wire crate and only let out for his previous owner to profit from him. It’s no wonder he’s a bit wary of strangers and nervous around other dogs...he’s only now learning that the world can be kind.Despite his rough start, Lizard is curious, active, and full of potential. He loves running around in the yard, exploring on walks, and taking in everything around him. And he’s got a soft spot for chicken treats - offer him one and you might just win a new best friend!With patience, gentle guidance, and a safe, quiet home, Lizard will flourish into the loving companion he’s always been meant to be. He does best without small children and would likely thrive as the only dog in his forever home, where he can truly feel safe and cherished.This little guy has been starved for love and attention, and at his core, all he wants is to feel safe, valued, and adored. Lizard is ready for a second chance, could you be the person to give him the life he deserves? Please inquire today!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lizard, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
