My story

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


Rita is a 45lb, 18mo old, German shepherd mix. She is sweet, incredibly smart, and trainable. She knows sit, down, stay, up, off, place, and will go to her crate if you tell her “go to bed”. She is spayed, micro chipped and her vaccines are up to date. She is house and crate trained and sleeps in her crate overnight.

We found Rita with her mom and litter starving on the street, covered in fleas and ticks. We got them across the border to a rescue and brought Rita home.

Rita is fearful of other dogs and new people, which causes her to bark/hide in her crate, when at home, and bark/pull on her leash during walks.

My husband and I just welcomed our first child and the influx in visitors and action in the home have meant more anxiety and a lot more time in the crate for Rita. She would do best in a home without children and at most 1 other dog. Seeking a patient handler who can give her the time and attention that she needs.
