Hi! I'm Liz Lemon, a 3monthold, 5pound Chihuahua blend with a whirlwind personality. I'm named after the iconic 30 Rock character because I'm spirited, clever, and unintentionally hilarious. I'm discovering the world one adventure at a time—bouncing between toys, cuddles, and anything interesting that crosses my path. I love being near my people and staying involved in whatever's happening.

Favorite Things: “Little Lizzie” loves anything that moves or makes noise. She's a toy enthusiast who delights in chasing, pouncing, and carrying her favorites around like prized treasures. When playtime winds down, she happily curls up for affection.

Training & Manners: Liz Lemon is still learning the basics, and her foodmotivated nature makes training fun. She's working on housetraining with frequent outdoor trips, practicing her leash skills, and learning that shoes aren't chew toys—though she redirects easily with something appropriate. She sleeps in the people bed and settles in quickly. With guidance, she's already showing how bright and eager she is.

Health & Care: Liz Lemon is a healthy girl. She'll need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, plus regular baths and nail trims. Her remaining puppy vet appointments and spay are scheduled with PPR's vet partner in Central Florida and are covered by her adoption donation.

Other Animals: Lizzie enjoys the company of dogs her size and shows calm curiosity toward new animals, suggesting she'd adjust well to cats.

Children: She's best suited for homes with children 8+. She's still teething and can be quick with her little mouth, so older kids are the safest match.

Ideal Home: She may be tiny, but she loves to play and would be thrilled with a fenced yard to zoom around in. It's a preference, not a requirement—consistent outdoor time keeps her happy. She'll do well in an apartment, townhome, or condo, and she enjoys having another playful pup to keep her busy.

Overall: Liz Lemon is an adventurous, clever, and affectionate pup who brings joy and laughter wherever she goes. She's full of personality, eager to learn, and always ready for the next fun moment. She carries the same quirky charm, determination, and lovable chaos that made her 30 Rock namesake so iconic. If you think she could bring that signature Liz Lemon energy into your home, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a great match, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $600.
