My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rizzo is one of a litter of nine puppies born in his foster home after his fur mom was rescued from a shelter. Rizzo is friendly and outgoing, loves to be held and play time is all day long for this sweet boy!
Rizzo's fur mom is a Rat Terrier, we don't know who dad is but think all the puppies will take after mom and be small (20 lbs) when full grown. Rizzo currently weighs about 4 and a half pounds. (at 8 weeks old)

As a puppy, Rizzo still needs to be trained for everything, potty, manners, leash walking, socializing, everything! Rat Terriers are super smart and we don't think it will take long for him to learn all he needs to know, but he will need a family willing to put in the time and effort it takes.

Rizzo will be attending adoption events on Saturdays at the Petsmart in Johns Creek (McGinnis Ferry and Medlock Bridge) from 12 to 4.

His adoption fee is $ 225.00

Rizzo is heartworm negative , and will be up-to-date on shots and neutered prior to his adoption. Rizzo has a microchip that will be transferred to the new owner upon completion of the adoption.

If you have questions about Rizzo, please contact his foster mom at fostermomcarpenter@gmail.com.
If you would like to meet Rizzo to find out if he is the right fit for your home, please print and complete an application, then scan and return it to us at Adoptions@pethoodga.org. It will be reviewed and when approved, the foster will contact you. The application is located here:
