Lizzie Australian Shepherd Mix Maysville, NC

Meet Lizzie! She was found as a stray when a good samaritan called to inform us that she was running around and appeared to need some help, as you can tell her skin was very irritated. After taking Lizzie to the vet we learned that her teeth had been grinded down to the nerve ending. This is an indication of her being locked in a metal cage and consistently trying to chew her way out. This shows the level of anxiety and fear Lizzie was feeling when locked inside the cage. Lizze has shown nothing but gratitude since being rescued by Castaways and truly is the sweetest girl despite what she has been through. Lizzie is currently on medications for her skin and wet food due to the damage of her teeth. More infor to come on this sweet girl!

Vetting: All of our dogs are microchipped and UTD on vaccines: Distemper-Parvo w/Lepto, Bordetella, and Rabies (if age appropriate). They receive monthly flea/heartworm prevention while in our care and receive fecal and heartworm testing. Most of our dogs are de-wormed at least twice unless we receive negative fecal results. They are spayed or neutered or pending a spay or neuter (unless age or a health condition precludes this).

Adoption Application: If you are interested in adopting, please visit our website for more information and to fill out an adoption application. A meet and greet cannot be scheduled until we receive and adoption application. No exceptions.

Foster-to-Adopt Program: All of our dogs are available to foster prior to adoption. This means the dog can stay are you now instead of waiting! During this time, Castaways will continue to provide remaining medical vetting and any supplies you might need! This includes but is not limited to: food, crates, bowls, collars/leashes, toys, etc. View our forms and policies page for more information.

Unsure about making a commitment just yet? Please consider fostering until you find the right pupper for you, especially if you are a first-time dog owner. With fostering, instead of saving one dog, you can help save 10 dogs! https://form.jotform.com/201795240513147
