Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rizzo and like his counterpart, Chicago Cub’s Rizzo, he’s going to be a winner too. Rizzo is going to find his furever home (hopefully it won’t take 108 years). Rizzo is approximately 9 months old, a male Border Collie mix weighing about 50 pounds. Is friendly with everyone he has met and every dog too. He is excited to meet people so we are working on the whole “jumping up on people is bad”. He does know how to sit, down and give paw. Border Collies are very intelligent so I have no doubt that he will learn anything very quickly. Rizzo is housebroken and crate trained. Rizzo is very energetic and just wants to play all the time – he will not be a good fit for a family with children under the age of 10. Rizzo will probably be about 80 pounds when he is finished growing. Are you a family that is looking for a good companion to go hiking, jogging, running, playing ball or Frisbee with -- then Rizzo is your dog! The family that adopts Rizzo will have to be dedicated to continue his obedience training – this is an absolute must! Border Collies not only require physical exercise but yearn for that mental challenge. Rizzo is up to date on all vaccinations and it neutered. If you want to meet him please give me a call, Anita at 708-751-4904. Rizzo’s adoption fee is $200.00.
