She is jokingly called Lizzie Borden from time to time because her time in a cage has been so long that she no longer deals with the other dogs in her digs very well. She acts like she has an axe to grind with many of the other female dogs in her midst. Take her outside and she is more of a Liz Taylor, with her beautiful face, sashay walk and the way she throws herself at anyone that looks her way. With people, Lizzie is so gentle, affectionate and trusting that it is a mystery why nobody has given her a fair shake or a second look. Her big brown eyes look so sad sometimes.

Lizzie would be easily housebroken. She has been fastidious in her kennel. She had shared her kennel space at one time with a frisky young male who did not let her get the better of him, but since Jack was adopted, Lizzie has been in a kennel alone. She might like another male that meets with her approval, but Lizzie likes to be the only female dog on site. It's one of her diva qualities and she deserves that to be respected.

In her middle years, Lizzie does not require the exercise regimen that a young dog needs. She will happily walk whenever and wherever and then stop and hang around happy to just have some company. Lizzie is a breeze to walk despite her size, takes treats like a lady and sits when prompted. She is a catch for almost any family whether they are athletes or couch potatoes. Lizzie is up for all of it.

Leo, the luminous, loving, loin leaner is cuter than any photo or words can capture. This too-well-kept secret must be revealed so that all beagle fans and small dog champions can have a chance to see this young boy in action. With his kennel mates, Benny and Wesley, the trio is a beagle bonanza. Wesley mostly goes off on his own, but with Benny, Leo is the biggest tease, grabbing the first thing that looks like a toy and racing off with Benny at his heals. Leo, the be-freckled, bespeckled beauty has two speeds—moving or mooching. His need for speed is matched only by his deep-seated need for love. Leo is happy to be thought of as a lap dog and is putty in your hands while you cradle him like a baby. Anyone looking for a playful, affectionate, active, small dog that would slide into a pack of kids or a group of dogs and steal the show should look no further than Leo.

Tillie is an adoptable dog residing at Angel Ridge Animal Rescue in Washington PA. She is the last of her siblings to get adopted. Her sister Millie and brother Billy, who were found along with Tillie in the woods were brought to Angel Ridge and despite her obvious charms, Tillie still sits there...waiting. She has been very gracious sharing her kennel with a number of roommates and her current BFF is Shylo, a senior, male lab mix who is happy to chime in when Tillie chooses to voice her excitement at visitors.

Tillie, a middle-aged, coonhound mix with Guernsey cow markings has been to a number of offsite events, agreeably accepting the head patting of strangers. She is particularly fond of children and the kids seem drawn to her cartoonish frame and pleading brown eyes. If ever you were to ask Tillie, "Why the long face?" you would surely understand how she might reply that living in a kennel without a family to call her own is something that gets her down from time to time.

Take Tillie for a walk and she will easily win you over with her affectionate posture and delightful personality. Beloved by many a volunteer, seeing Tillie finally get adopted would be the biggest reward for their work.
