BIO: Just got to Brooklyn and have already made myself at home. I'm goofy, I'm curious, and once I'm comfortable with you, I'm enthusiastic about cuddles. I came all the way from the Caribbean, I play well with others, and I have never met a bone or a toy I didn't like. Your move.
HER FOSTER SAYS: "She loves all toys, she loves saying hi and she loves playing. She's a total goofball!"

Rescued as a stray in Dominica; Lisa traveled to Brooklyn in mid-April 2026.

Lisa made the trip from Dominica to Brooklyn in April, assessed the toy situation in her foster home, and immediately got to work. Goofy, curious, and deeply entertaining, she settled into foster life fast and has been keeping everyone around her on their toes ever since.
Her personality is hard to miss — she's playful and inquisitive, with strong feelings about toys of all varieties. Her foster sibling has been generous about sharing, and she's been a more than willing participant. When she's not in full play mode, she's equally happy to decompress with cuddles and couch time. Moderate energy with a fun personality is a solid way to put it.
She's currently living with another dog and getting along well — curious, playful, and a cooperative housemate. She's noted to be good with cats, and the shelter in Dominica flagged her as good with kids, though that hasn't been observed firsthand yet.
She has a crate and house training foundation in place, and leash manners are a work in progress — she's got a free spirit streak on the lead that they're actively working on.
She's only been in foster a short time, so there's more personality still to reveal. What's clear already: she's a genuinely fun, warm dog who's going to make someone very happy. -
Lisa is up-to-date on required vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm.
While in rescue, Lisa received care for some medical issues, which have been resolved. We do not expect these to require ongoing care. If you think Lisa might be a good fit for your home, we can share a more detailed medical history.
