ABOUT US
Liz's Place Rescue Resource Center is a new approach to helping both homeless animals and owned pets in Central Virginia. A subsidiary of Sanctuary Rescue, Liz's Place targets three areas to help animals get out of municipal animal shelters and then provide resources to help keep them out through adoptions, affordable routine vet care, and accessible dog training resources.
Sanctuary Rescue has been a mainstay in dog rescue in the Midlothian area for the past dozen-plus years, but as things have gotten more and more challenging in animal welfare post-pandemic, we decided it was time for a change -- or really more of an addition. Sanctuary Rescue's mission remains the same, to offer high-quality rescue for dogs in crowded shelters, but we wanted to do more to make a difference in the lives of not only the animals in these shelters but the humans that work at the shelters and bear the burden of a broken system, and Liz's Place Rescue Resource Center was born.
The goal of Liz's Place Rescue Resource Center is to provide an inclusive, hopeful, and loving place for our community to learn more about shelter and rescue animals, to offer resources to help keep owned animals in their homes and to provide adoption support to local animal control agencies.

As an arm of Sanctuary Rescue, Liz's Place Rescue Resource Center is a 501c3 nonprofit. Since all programs at Liz's Place are low or no cost, we gladly accept tax-deductible donations to help us continue to help animals in need. Donations can be made here:
We often have extreme medical cases: puppies with pneumonia, mama dogs that are heartworm positive, injured dogs that require immediate surgery, just to name a few. These special cases go above and beyond what we collect in adoption fees, and we would not be able to provide them with the care that they need and deserve if it wasn't for the generousity of the community. No gift is too small and not only are we dependent on them, but we are so very grateful for them. Thank you for supporting Sanctuary Rescue!

Adoptions
Liz's Place offers two ways to find your next best friend.
1st Saturdays Adoption Event with Local Shelters
On the first Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Liz's Place hosts a large-scale adoption event with multiple animal control agencies. This gives local shelters an opportunity to showcase the wonderful dogs and cats that they have available for adoption while also creating a "one-stop shop" for potential adopters. Each shelter follows their own adoption protocol, with most allowing for on-site adoptions.
3rd Saturdays Sanctuary Rescue Adopt-A-Thon
On the third Saturday of each month from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Sanctuary Rescue hosts an adoption event for their available rescue animals. This event features Sanctuary Rescue dogs and puppies exclusively and requires an approved application prior to the event.

Training & Socialization
One of the goals of Liz's Place is to provide a puppy training and socialization option for pet owners "South of the James," as well as providing access to knowledgeable trainers for anyone needing a little professional guidance through some of the challenges of pet ownership.
ASK A TRAINER SESSIONS
We are excited to host Katie and Rob from Lucky Dogs Training and More on the first Saturday of each month from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for an open forum Q&A session. There is no cost for this, so feel free to come with any questions you may have to help you better understand your pet.
PUPPY SOCIALIZATION PLAYGROUPS
Liz's Place holds drop-in puppy socialization playgroups throughout November and December of 2023. Please check our Monthly Events page for dates and times. Our socialization playgroups are designed for puppies 10 to 24 weeks of age. There will be free play in our unique socialization area, specifically curated with various activities, textures, smells, and challenges to help young dogs gain confidence and interact appropriately with the world around them. Best of all, your puppy will go home happy AND exhausted! Each playgroup will also include brief interludes of puppy obedience sprinkled throughout.
A minimum of two parvo/distemper vaccinations are required. There is no commitment with our drop-in playgroups; attend one or attend all! The cost is $25 per playgroup. Please email lizsplace@sanctuaryrescue.com to register in advance.
