Story
History: We recently helped a situation in Northern MN of two “sets” of husky mix families needing a second chance. They were at risk of being destroyed and rescue was needed urgently. They are extremely sweet kiddos who are each hoping to find forever homes of their own soon!
A Note from the Foster: 🐾 Hi. I’m Rita. Professional Mama. Professional Drama Queen. Future Best Friend. 💅🐺
Hello, humans. My name is Rita and I’m a 2-year-old husky/shepherd mix with a BIG personality, a bigger heart, and an impressive résumé.
Recently, I raised 13 puppies (yes… THIRTEEN). I’m basically a single mom who ran a daycare, a snack bar, and a wrestling league all at the same time. I am now officially clocked out and ready for my next job: being someone’s spoiled, beloved forever dog.
✨ Important Rita Facts ✨
✅ Potty trained (I’m a lady)
✅ Crate trained (I can do hard things)
✅ Good with other dogs (I’m a friendly coworker)
✅ Good with kids (tiny humans = excellent petting staff)
❓ Cats? I haven’t met one yet, but I’m pretty sure I’d try to make friends like I do with everyone else.
🗣️ I’m talkative… like, husky talkative
If you’ve ever wanted a dog who communicates using howls, woo-woos, and emotional commentary, congratulations—you’ve found your soulmate. I will absolutely tell you about my day, your day, and the injustice of an empty treat jar.
🎾 My hobbies include:
• Fetch (I am an athlete)
• Chewing bones (self-care)
• Being obsessed with pets and treats (my love language is “both”)
• Watching rabbits and deer outside like I’m filming a nature documentary 🦌🐇
🏡 My dream home:
I would LOVE a home with a fenced yard where I can safely roam, explore, zoom, and live my best off-leash fantasy. I’ve got energy to burn and a nose that needs to sniff everything.
🥹 My soft side
I’m still working through a little separation anxiety after leaving my babies. I’m learning that I’m safe, loved, and that my humans always come back. I just need someone patient and kindwho can help me feel secure.
📚 My “learning era”
I’m sweet and smart, but I could use someone who can keep helping me with obedience and boundaries… mostly because I have a small issue where I believe I am a 70-pound lap dog.
Yes, I will try to jump into your arms or climb into your lap when I want attention.
No, I do not see the problem.
Yes, I will do it again.
💖 In conclusion:
If you want a loyal, loving, hilarious, talkative best friend who is great with dogs and kids, loves fetch, and will happily snuggle you like a living weighted blanket…
I’m your girl.
Adopt me and let’s be obsessed with each other forever.
Love,
🐾 Rita
(retired super-mom, part-time lap dog, full-time good girl)
