My story

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

Here's looking at you kid!  Rita is a super sweet girl that  is around 1 year old and weighs about 30lbs.

She is a friendly, playful, highly energetic girl that loves, loves, loves - did we say loves, other dogs and another in the home who enjoys playing, is young and active to keep up with her would be perfect! She can be vocal when wanting to play and for attention and a buddy would help with that too! 

She is crate trained and house training is progressing to the point she will now alert her foster and head for the door. She is very good on walks but the sight of a potential playmate gets her excited. 

Food is a super motivator for Rita and will make obedience training so much easier as she will work for her treats without hesitation!  With her high energy level and love for playing, a fenced yard would best suit her to help her exercise both body and mind! 

Rita is very sweet, and because she had a rough start in life without guidance or training, she still acts like a puppy who hasn't learned all the basic 'people manners' yet and when she gets excited will be jumpy for attention. Kids should be 10+ years old and dog savvy so she doesn't accidentally bump into a little one.

An active person, couple or family with patience, willingness to work with her and enroll in training classes will be greatly rewarded with a loyal, sweet, wonderful family member. 

   **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent.

Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment.  Thank you for your interest!

More about this rescue

Magnificent Mutt is a group of dedicated volunteers who provide love, hope and a safe sanctuary to our animals in need. They transport, foster, feed and train our many animals. The volunteers give their time and love to the dogs so the dogs learn that humans do indeed care. Not all volunteers foster; their are many other areas where help is needed such as: organizing/running adoption and fundraising events, writing/creating flyers, and other various marketing efforts. We work as a team, and use all of our skills to benefit the animals and the organization.

We are always seeking dog-lovers who want to contribute their time and effort to help us achieve our goals. If you are interested in becoming a Mutts Volunteer, please see our page on Volunteering!
