🌟 Exciting News for Lizzie! 🌟
Our sweet Lizzie is headed off next week to an amazing 3-week board & train program with our trusted friend Heather at Next Door K9 Solutions in Charlotte, NC! 🐾
Lizzie’s story is one of resilience. When she first arrived at the Columbia SC city shelter, she had a gaping wound through her abdomen. Thanks to wonderful veterinary care and her loving foster parents, she healed beautifully. Then she faced the challenge of heartworm treatment—and came out stronger than ever. 💪❤️
Now that Lizzie is healthy and off activity restrictions, it’s time to focus on her mental and emotional wellbeing. She has shown some reactivity toward men and other dogs, but with patience and guidance she’s already made great progress. This program will give her the structured training she needs to build confidence, refine her manners, and shine as the incredible dog we know she is. ✨
At Next Door K9, Lizzie will work on:
✔️ Basic obedience
✔️ Building confidence
✔️ General manners
✔️ Socialization with other dogs
We believe this program will be the final step before she finds her forever family—and we can’t wait to see her blossom!
