rita - adoption pending

Meet Rita: Your Happy Companion! About Rita: Rita is a spirited and happy young lady with a big personality. We believe she is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, she embodies the best traits of the breed with her athletic build, intelligence, and loyalty. She thrives on attention and is eager to be the center of your world. Rita had an outing and spent the day at the home of one of our volunteer couples. They said she was wonderful in their home and enjoyed driving around town. As we learn more about her, we have found that she does get along with some dogs. However, she is selective on which dogs she likes. Because of this, she is not one that would do well in a dog park. Health & Care: Rita is in excellent health, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and spayed. She has an energetic nature and benefits from regular exercise and mental stimulation. Rita responds best to a confident handler who can provide consistent training and guidance. What Rita Needs: Rita is looking for a dedicated and loving home where she can receive the attention and care she deserves. She’s a great fit for an active family or individual who can match her energy and provide her with plenty of playtime, training, and affection. She would do best as the only dog in the household.    Are you ready for a new jogging partner? Rita would love to join you!   ***     Give Rita a chance  with our Foster-To-Adopt program ! *** All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered (if they are old enough) before they leave the shelter.
