My story

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

Meet Rizzo, Rizzo has a big personality! She has a bold personality that says , "hey look at me" and let me love you. . She loves you to pet her, to love on her. She will keep you entertained with her goofy personality and silly antics. Rizzo arrived to rescue with her male companion, Rusty. She seems to prefer the male dogs, she does get along with females. And loves male dog friends. She is a beautiful girl. She is very energetic, loves playing outside, running and chasing her other buddies. She is smart and very responsive to you, she likes to please her people. Rizzo enjoys the company of all people too. If you will stop to show her some attention, it will be time well spent. She will reward you with kisses and smiles all day everyday.

More about this rescue

Northbound Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting primarily independent rescuers in rural North Western Mississippi. With many of these communities battling overpopulation, low local adoption rates and climbing medical bills, Northbound Rescue forms a partnership with these rescuers to assist them with medical care, fundraising, transport and rescue efforts in the Northeast.
Our vision is to help our partners in Mississippi get their animals proper medical care and find them their forever home in the Northeast.
Why we do it... every animal deserves to be loved safe and cared for, we are their voice.
