Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rizby!! Rizby is a 3 year old Pitbull. Rizby came to us emaciated (seen in his last picture) A wonderful family found him on the side of the road in Pender County and was seeking help, once we seen his condition we knew we had to help him. ,Rizby underwent his Heartworm treatment, He is neutered, UTD on his vaccinations and microchipped. He absolutely adores people especially children. We are not sure about other dogs but definitely no kitty cats. Rizby will need an experienced handler. We reached out to Jeff Coltenback who is an amazing dog trainer to help us with Rizby and will be boarding him for 30 days.Mr. Coltenback is worried that once he comes back to the shelter he will go backwards. If interested in Rizby please call 910-259-7022 it is important to find Rizby his forever home or at least an expierenced foster home!
