Yes. Every dog listed on Lily's Second Chance, including Lizzie Shelby, is a senior — generally age 7 or older. Senior dogs are often already house-trained and calm, and they wait the longest for a home.

Some shelters and rescues offer a foster-to-adopt path — you foster first, then complete the adoption if the match feels right. Check Lizzie Shelby's profile for the organization's contact details and ask them directly whether a fostering option is available.

Senior dogs typically have a brief adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as they settle into a new home. They may be quiet or shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to sleep, and patience usually make the transition smooth. Most senior dogs settle in faster than puppies because they are already past the demanding early stage.

Compatibility depends on the individual dog's history and personality more than age or breed alone. Best Friends Animal Society — Sanctuary (Kanab) can tell you about Lizzie Shelby's known behavior around children, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer a meet-and-greet before finalizing an adoption to make sure the match is right for everyone.
