Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Opening up when the world feels scary is a brave and beautiful thing.
Meet Rita, who came into the shelter alone and untrusting. She has, step by step, shown her loving soul, bursts of playfulness, and keen intelligence. She has picked up housetraining like a champ. She takes treats ever so gently. Though a bit timid, she is curious about the world around her and will sit at a short distance in unknown situations to assess what lies before her. She is great on a leash and wants to sniff all the sniffs. Once she trusts you, she will kiss you, follow you to the ends of the earth, and relish your affection (pets to her chin, ears, and backside are especially welcome). If you are looking for a quirky, lovely and petite pittie mix with perky, always-on ears, look no further.
She seems to enjoy other dogs, though has not been officially dog tested while at the shelter or in foster. She perks up when she sees other dogs and shows interest.
She is doing great with house training and has learned to sit by the door if she needs to go out. She will get the zoomies after she done with her business since she is so used to getting praised for doing so!
She LOVES to gather different treasures and keep them in her bed. Missing a shoe? She may have it. Remote control MIA? Check her bed! She likes to keep her people on their toes when it comes to their possessions!
As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.
To learn more about Rita, or to meet her in person, please text our foster coordinator at 336-937-1867 to be connected with her Foster Pawrent!

We recommend that your current pets are up to date on all of their vaccines before bringing home your new pet.
