Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rita! She is our newest addition. Rita is a beautiful girl, thankfully HW negative. She is approximately 10 months old. Rita gets along well with the other dogs. She still has a lot of energy due to the fact that she is a younger dog, but she is really sweet.
UPDATE FROM THE FOSTER MOM: Rita is very cute and affectionate. She was in a pen all her life and it shows. She is still a little nervous in the house but in less than 24 hours she has gone already gone a long way. She plays well with my young dog but she could also be an only dog as she really craves and desires human attention. In some of the pictures, you see her with a slice of bread; every morning my dogs get a piece of bread while I have breakfast. I gave her one too as I do to all the fosters. She clearly never had bread before as she did not know what to do with it, so she decided to play with it, tossing in the air and carrying it around. It was adorable. Rita is VERY good looking. She is a short, stocky lab. She looks pure lab.
ANOTHER UPDATE FROM THE FOSTER MOM: Rita absolutely LOVES water. She would love to live near a lake or be taken to the lake often. She is 100% lab. She is highly energetic but affectionate. She tosses the tennis ball in the air and then catches it. She has a strong hunting instinct so I don’t think I would trust her with cats, especially not a cat not used to dogs that would start running away. She loves to play with other dogs. She still needs some work on leash walking simply because her favorite thing to do is to walk next to you, touching your legs, preferably in between your legs. This makes leash walking a little hard but we are working on it! She is very affectionate and would do great with older kids to play with. She has also the potential to do well with small kids once she learns not to jump on people. She is great dog, full of personality, learning very quickly. I think she would be a great dog for someone interested in training her for dock diving (she is also super fast) or retrieving.
