After overcoming her own personal battles with mental health, Liz noticed the lack of service dogs trained for psychological purposes in Lincoln. Understanding the life changing impact a service dog can have, she became a dedicated advocate for service dogs trained to aid those with a mental illness. This then led to the founding of Uplifting Paws, which Liz started in 2017.
