Description:

Dizzy joined LDDR in August 2010.

Update 8/31/2010:

Dizzy is a 4 year old lab/shepherd/greyhound mix. He weighs 65 lbs. He is great with other large dogs, and will tolerate small dogs (we always supervise him). He is fine with cats, and is actually quite submissive towards them. The cat chases him and swats at him, and the dog backs down. He's great with kids too!

Because of his size and speed, we recommend him for a home with a fenced yard so he can run, run, run. His previous owners did not have a fenced yard, but put him out with a 35 ft tie-out. He seemed to do fine with that too! He's great on a leash as long as you use the GentleLeader.

He's been housebroken since we got him with no accidents. He will sit by the door to signal to you that he needs to go out. He doesn't bark - just whines. His biggest fault is that he is not crazy about being left alone. We are working on that. We usually have him downstairs in the unfinished basement with a blanket and the TV running when we go out.

He learned to sit, lay, shake, and give high fives very quickly. He's very loving and affectionate, and even greets you at the door when you get home.

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
