Woodchip Ivy - German Shepherd Dog and Black Mouth Cur Dog for Adoption in Tunica, Mississippi

Meet Woodchip

Woodchip is a sweet, resilient girl who has an incredible story of survival.

At around a year old and approximately 40–45 pounds, Woodchip is believed to be a Black Mouth Cur/Shepherd mix. She was found after surviving for nearly 60 days in the Arkabutla bottoms near Coldwater with two siblings. After being struck by a car, employees from Lizzy’s Luxury Lodge and Daycare spent hours searching for her and eventually found her hiding in a pile of woodchips surrounded by poison ivy.

Woodchip suffered a broken leg, but thankfully no other serious injuries. With veterinary care and lots of love from the team at Lizzy’s, she made a full recovery and is now ready for a home of her own.

Woodchip loves playing with other dogs and is very social with her canine friends. She was recently introduced to a seven-year-old girl and was calm, affectionate, and gentle. She never jumped on her and seemed to enjoy the attention.

Woodchip is spayed, current on vaccinations, crate trained, and fully healed from her injury. Despite everything she has been through, she is a happy, loving girl who always seems to have a smile on her face.

She has already proven just how brave she is. Now Woodchip is ready to leave survival mode behind and discover what it means to have a family of her very own.
