Elizabeth - $400 Labrador Retriever Mix Milwaukee, WI

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but some call me Lizzie. I'm a sweet and loving 3 year old, 53lb lab mix looking for a place to call my forever home.
I spent most of my life as an outdoor dog in the South, so it's taking me a while to get used to the good life of a house pet. I'm a little bit skittish and nervous around sudden movements and loud or weird noises, but I get better and better every day.
I'm working on learning to go outside to do my business and to get in my kennel nicely. Like I said, I didn't live in a house before so all of this is pretty new to me. But I'm a smart girl and I know I can quickly learn if I'm guided gently and taught what to do. I'm already getting a lot better! I'm also not a huge barker and I love to destroy fluffy toys. I like to run around and play, but I also enjoy relaxing next to my person at night after I got some exercise.
I love walks! I walk nicely and pull very little, mostly just when something startles me. I think that'll get better as I get used to the hustle and bustle of the city and realize that I'm safe with my person by my side.
My foster parents believe that I will do best in a home that is relatively quiet, with not a lot of people coming in and out and with no small children since they can be a little unpredictable and that's a little scary for me. This might all get better in the future, but right now I need to ease into all of these new experiences. I like dogs that are nice and chill! Right now I live with a girl dog that's a couple years older than me and I like to follow her around and follow her lead. She makes me feel safe. My ideal home would have another dog that is confident, gentle, and laid back so I can learn from them.
I know that not everyone might be up for loving a dog that requires a little bit more patience and a gentle guiding hand, but if you open up your heart and your home to me, get ready... because I have soo much love and loyalty to give! You will become my whole world!
