There's a lot to learn when you have a new pet. Our sister brand, The Wildest, is here to support you—with new pet checklists, virtual training, and expert guides. Sign up for free.
Rita is a funny little gal who loves playing and snuggling up to her people. If no one is available for playtime, she is happy to entertain herself by throwing balls and toys up in the air and catching them. She's just the kind of dog that can always put you in a better mood!
Lucky Rita landed at animal control as a stray in the Fall. But by Winter a Good Samaritan plucked her out as a foster and put her through training to make her stand out from the crowd. While in training, she learned to temper her play with other dogs a bit, as she used to have a tendency to get over-stimulated and rowdy.
Over time, Rita has learned how to politely engage with other pups and to pick up on their cues when they're tired of playing. She is very eager to please and learn, so she looks forward to her very own person who can continue to show her the ropes of pet life. Visitors to the home are a little bit stressful to Rita, so at this time we are looking for a child free, low traffic home for her. Rita thrives with routine and few surprises.
As far as love goes, it comes quite naturally to Miss Rita. She is always happy to greet you and lean into you for affection.
Temperament: Very friendly with familiar people, but needs a slow intro to home visitors; energetically playful with dogs
Training: Housetrained, crate-trained and knows commands
Vetting: Spay/neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative
To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.
We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself. Please expect an adoption fee of $300; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.

Their adoption process
1.
Submit Application
We are 100% volunteer/foster based, so we do ask that you complete an adoption application in order for us to schedule a phone interview.
2.
Interview
After reviewing your application, we'll contact you to determine if dog is a good fit for your lifestyle and home.
3.
Approve Application
We check vet and personal references to ensure previous dogs were well cared for, so please be thorough in providing this info.
4.
Home Check
This enables the dog to get to know you and your home and for us to suggest anything they may need to be successful in your home.
5.
Sign Adoption Contract
You would also pay the fee at this time, however, we offer a 2 week trial period before cashing your check. We will always take dogs back.
Additional adoption info
You will be asked to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/dh-adoption) and allow a home visit to ensure the pet is a good fit for your home/lifestyle.
We are primarily a placement service, so the adoption fees vary depending on each pet and what caretakers have invested medically and behaviorally to ensure they are adoption-ready.
