My story

Meet Rizzo: The Sweet and Salty Companion Ready for Love! Rizzo is a delightful blend of sweetness and sass, making her a unique and loving addition to any home. This charming girl is obedient with her foster family and has formed strong bonds with both humans and doggie friends! Rizzo’s journey began when she showed up on her foster’s mom’s porch, ready for a new start. Initially a bit fearful, she quickly warmed up when approached gently, showing her affectionate side with lots of kisses and snuggles. With patience and time, Rizzo has thrived in her foster home, where she’s learned to trust and love hard. While she can be a bit shy and cautious with new people, Rizzo has made great strides. She thrives in structured environments and quickly adapts to new routines. Once she trusts you, she’ll shower you with affection, including plenty of belly rubs and gentle licks!

She enjoys walks, car rides, and, of course, food! Rizzo can be a bit reactive to barking dogs on the other side of the fence and may engage in fence fighting. However, with guidance, she can learn to curb this behavior with leave it and retreat back into the home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will follow you around like a shadow and offer endless love, Rizzo is ready to find her forever home with someone who will give her the chance to thrive!
