At the HSSV, the family was introduced to a sweet Chihuahua mix named Lisa. Despite her small size, Lisa had a presence that made a big impression on the Doblar family. Her scars and inflamed cherry eyelids were a stark contrast to her warm, sparkling personality. The story behind her injuries remained a mystery, but they didn’t diminish her charm. Instead, they highlighted her resilience and capacity for love.

Lisa’s behavior spoke volumes about her character. She approached each family member with a gentle and loving demeanor, making a strong connection with everyone she met. Christine Doblar noted, “She just has a wonderful, sparkling personality. The fact that she was going to each of us, and just as loving and exuberant with everyone she greeted…we looked at a few more dogs but nobody could compare to that.”
