My story

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

Hi! I’m Rita! My foster mom says it’s short for Margarita because I am spicy and sweet! My perfect day would include taking all my toys out of the toy bin, snacking on a bully stick, napping (accompanied by the cutest snores), and of course, can’t forget the belly rubs!

I’m a smart girl who is house-trained, loves the kennel, and knows plenty of commands. I'm curious and well, who could refuse my puppy dog eyes? I had to have a few TLPO (knee) surgeries and have spent most of my time in foster care indoors on strict rest. Now that I’m 100%, I’m ready to explore the great outdoors! Loud, busy settings can be scary since I’m naturally a little more timid, but once I feel comfortable, my sweet side really shines! My ideal environment has a yard, no cats, and a dog to play with (I also do fine on my own!). If you think we’d be a perfect match, I’d love to meet you!

**note that Rita has successfully been treated for heartworms and will retest in April 2022**
