Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 5-year-old Lizzy.

Here is Baypath’s description of Lizzy:

“Lizzy is a 5-year-old scruffy sweetheart looking for a home to call her own. Playful and people-loving, she enjoys being included in daily life and does well with other dogs, making her a great fit for a social, dog-friendly household. While Lizzy can be a little shy when meeting new people, a bit of patience goes a long way. Once she feels comfortable, her affectionate and loyal personality truly shines.

“Lizzy would do best in a home with teens or adults who understand giving her time to warm up and are excited to help her continue building confidence. With the right match, Lizzy will make a wonderful companion and devoted best friend.”
