Story
She was found by my Sister-in-law, and we took her in to foster her. She has been with us for a little over a week and is an amazing dog. Adoption fee is strictly to cover her spay (once she finishes her first heat, as she just began a few days ago, before we had a chance to fix her). Adoption fee will also cover the vaccinations by my vet scheduled for 2/3. We have a male black GSD and a small terrier mix. We would 100% keep her, but timing is just not right, and space is limited with adding a second large dog to our home. They have gotten along well, but Echo is certainly still a puppy. She's learning very quickly how to behave in the home, but it was obvious from the beginning that she had some proper training before we found her. Very well behaved, VERY smart, decently active (experienced dog owner REQUIRED). She needs a home with space and a warm home she can cuddle up on the couch with you at the end of the day. Requires lots of activity and companionship.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ritzy Rescue and Posh Puppy are programs created by CVRR to feature Purebred and Designer dogs. Many of our purebreds are rescued from local puppy mills; some are surrendered by owners who can no longer care for them.  All of our Ritzy and Posh dogs are in need of loving, nurturing homes. Many of them come to us with a serious lack of socialization, malnourished, unvaccinated and desperately in need of grooming and dental care. We place them in foster homes, attend to their physical and emotional needs and begin the process of finding suitable forever homes.  If you are interested in providing a loving home for a Ritzy Rescue or Posh Puppy you must complete an online application at www.cvrr.us  We are only able to respond to interested parties who have completed applications online. Thank you.   Many of our dogs can be seen at Petsmart in Visalia select Saturdays between 10 and 2.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 1, 2026, 5:41 pm
