My story

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

Hi, my name is Rizzo and I was adopted as a puppy from Arrow 5 years ago. My mommy loved me very much and said I am a very good boy. My mom’s mom died from cancer recently and now her dad has it too. I have had to stay in my kennel a-lot, and am lonely. My mom knew this just wasn’t fair to me and knew there must be a family just waiting for a great dog like me. I like other dogs, but I bark at them at first... then I get excited and playful, I haven’t lived with a cat but my mom said I would likely just be curious at first. My mom said I would probably be good with other furry creatures too because I found a rabbits nest recently and pulled it out, sniffed all of the babies and then walked away. I need a harness for a walk because I tend to pull. I am a lab mix, with a dash of bloodhound thrown in. I am house, and crate trained. I love to play fetch but you have to buy me an indestructible one, I like to eat the other kinds in seconds. Sorry, I can’t help it. I have never shown any kind of aggression towards any other creatures, but I will bark at anyone who tries to sneak up on my Mom so i might fake out bad guys for you. I’m not very fond of men. I growled at the last man I tried to live with. Kids are ok, but I’m very interested in them. I am a big boy, I weigh 80 lbs. I love to get brushed, and give kisses. I am up to date on all my vaccines and am healthy, active, loving and just a really good boy. My dream home is with an all female household. I like to lay on your lap even though I might squish you. I have been through a lot of changes recently and I would really like a nice quiet home and someone who might like to take me on hikes or walks. I love to smell the yard all over!
