A companion animal is a pet. A companion animal can provide their owner emotional and physical benefits. Walking a dog benefits the animal as well as the owner. Dogs offer companionship, loyalty and friendship. Please consider adopting or fostering a Lizzy's Animal Hospice Dog. Click here to download our flyer about Lizzy's Animal Hospice.

Meet Lizzy
Meet Lizzy - the inspiration for Lizzy's Animal Hospice. She was only with us for two years, but that was longer than we thought she would live considering the condition she was found in. Lizzy was chained to a tree in Southwest Austin, and her hair was so heavily matted that every time she tried to stand up she would fall over - and she was frail. At around 13 years of age, Lizzy was given the life she deserved in the first place. She lived free of chains and matted hair, ate healthy food, and received pain maintenance to help with her arthritis. Most importantly, Lizzy was showered with love and companionship (both human and animal), probably for the first time
