Lisa

Belgian Shepherd Malinois, Female, Medium Sized Dogs

Name: LISA-2
M/F: Female
DoB: May 2022
Adult size: Medium
Admitted to PAWS: June 2023

Lisa was found on a farm in the most appalling condition. At one year old she was so bad she could barely stand! Her rescuer took her to the vet where she was blood tested (which showed her to be positive to Leishmania) and given treatment for this and for various infections and anaemia. She was declared to be around 6kg underweight.

Her rescuer persisted and eventually got permission from her owner to take her and find her a new home. She was fostered for 4 weeks until she was well enough to come to (and there was space in) PAWS.

Lisa is an absolute delight. In spite of the treatment she received at the hands of her original owner, she loves people. She is one of the sweetest and most affectionate dogs ever encountered. At the moment she spends much of her day laying in her pen; however, when someone approaches the pen door (especially with food!) she is up like lightning and waiting to welcome them. When we go into her pen she lays down, rolls over and almost demands that you pet her. When you stop, her paw goes out to nudge your arm to ask for more.
How a dog can maintain faith in people when it has been treated so badly is unfathomable.
Whoever adopts Lisa will never regret it. She will probably never be able to run fast or walk a long way but she will steadfastly be by your side, your companion for life.

For more information about LISA, please email colleenatpaws@outlook.com, or send PAWS a private Facebook message (please include your email address in the message), or come to the shelter to meet her.
