🐾 Meet Rizby!
Rizby is a 4-year-old Pitbull with a big heart and an even bigger smile!
He was found in rough shape on the side of the road in Pender County — but thanks to a caring family and lots of love, Rizby is now thriving! He’s heartworm-free, neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped — ready for a fresh start.
Rizby loves people, especially kids, and is full of playful energy. He’s not a fan of cats and may need slow introductions with other dogs. Rizby would probably do best with an experienced handler to keep up the amazing progress he’s made during 30 days of professional training with Jeff Coltenback.
We’d love to find Rizby a forever home — or even a foster — to keep him moving forward and living his best life!
