About Rita

Rita is a 7-year-old, spayed female Staffordshire mix who weighs around 58 lbs. This absolute sweetheart is a cuddle bug with moderate energy, making her a perfect companion for those seeking both playful interaction and cozy snuggle time. Rita has shown herself to be respectful and playful with other medium to large-sized dogs she's met. Her ideal day involves plenty of ear rubs, quality time, playtime with her favorite toys, and enjoyable car rides, perhaps even a trip for a pup cup! She's already a pro at crate and potty training, and walks nicely on a leash. Rita was rescued from an overcrowded shelter and, despite her past, remains a loving and affectionate pup who is sure to melt your heart with just one look.

Ideal Home

Rita would love a home where she can get plenty of attention and enjoy playtime with her family. While she's done well with other dogs, her experience with children and cats is unknown.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned for Rita.

Training & Support

Rita is already crate-trained, potty-trained, and leash-trained, making her a well-behaved companion right from the start.
