Lizzie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Lizzie was a SCAN dog many years ago when she was adopted into a lovely family. Unfortunately, the couple split up and were unable to keep the dogs. Since June this year, Lizzie is in foster care, as she is quite timid at the beginning. But we think the statement of the foster family is very clear: Hi everyone, Lizzie has been fostered with me since the 22nd of June. She came to me a very sad and frightening girl who had lost her family through no fault of hers. She was with them for 6 years and before that used for breeding. Lizzie is about nine years old. So slowly over the summer she has gained confidence and today was our first day on the beach. She's a lovely girl perfect on the lead , good with other dogs - I have a male and a female. No issues with cats; she just ignores them. She just needs a safe corner to retreat to, if she wants. Now she spends more time with us and the dogs. Her perfect home will have a confident first dog, a quiet corner where she can relax, and plenty of patience, so that she can build trust without pressure and show her true character.

About Lizzie

What life with Lizzie looks like

Lizzie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SCAN Costa Blanca.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lizzie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lizzie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SCAN Costa Blanca handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lizzie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lizzie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SCAN Costa Blanca will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lizzie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lizzie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SCAN Costa Blanca early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lizzie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
