Rita

RITA – Mini Shepherd Mix / 2 Years / 14kg / F–Spayed

Despite a tough start to life, Rita is as sweet as can be! After being struck by a car as a baby, and left for an unimaginable fate, kind people from our rescue helped Rita recover, and her gratitude can be seen in her everyday interactions with people.

Foster mom describes Rita as a sweet soul who loves people. She is often caught going up to strangers to say hello, and adores pets and affection. Having spent nearly 2 years in shelter, she is soaking up her first shot at a home! Rita has mastered many things already – she is house trained, crate trained, polite to the resident dog, learned stairs, and is great with solo downtime too. It’s clear, Rita is just happy to be here!

In Rita’s future home, we would love to see her with people who are home often, and that can include her in their daily lives. While she hasn’t met kids yet, we suspect she will do just fine, as she is gentle and doesn’t jump up. Rita loves to go on walks, however she does favour 3 legs following her accident, and therefore would be best to avoid hiking or uneven trails (she does get around on routine walks, and loves to be outside). Rita passed her cat test in Mexico, and would likely be fine to share her home with a feline!

If you are looking for a sweet soul to join your home, we would love to see your application – www.dibsrescue.com. Her adoption fee is $750.
