Rita

Rita Breed: Rottweiler Age: Approx. 6–7 years Weight: ~75 lbs Sex: Female

Rita is a big, beautiful Rottie teddy bear who wants lots of love, a little adventure, and a cozy place to land. She's a total cuddle bug who believes she's a giant stuffed animal and lives for leaning in for hugs.

She enjoys car rides, walks nicely on leash (she's strong!), and is happiest when she can relax next to her person after a stroll. Rita is affectionate, silly, and absolutely lights up when she feels connected to her humans.

Like many dogs who had a rough start, Rita is still polishing a few manners. She's working on some issues related to potty training and can get a little mischievous if left unsupervised, so she should be crated when alone. With a patient, loving, breed-experienced foster or adopter, she'll continue to blossom.

Rita also has a cherry eye that's been corrected twice but came back — now it's just part of her charm.

Good to know: • Currently in boarding and would LOVE a couch of her own • Would be okay with older, respectful children • Has lived with other dogs before; dog meet-and-greets required

Rita deserves a soft place to land and a kind heart to call her own. Could that be you? (1)
