Rita

Rita is a 4-year-old Shih Tzu who weighs just 7.5 pounds. This adorable little tan girl is a recent release from a breeder and is ready to discover how wonderful life as a beloved family pet can be.

Rita is a sweet, happy little dog with a playful personality. She enjoys spending time with her foster family, loves attention, and is always ready for some fun. While she is still learning about the world around her, she approaches new experiences with curiosity and a wagging tail.

Rita loves going outside and has learned what to do when she is out there. She is still using pee pads in her foster home as she continues to work on her house-training skills. Like many breeder release dogs, she is learning new routines every day and making steady progress.

Rita is crate trained and does very well in her crate. Walking on a leash is still new to her, so leash training will be something her new family will continue to work on. All of these skills are a work in progress, and with patience, consistency, and one-on-one attention, Rita will continue to gain confidence and improve.

Rita gets along well with other small dogs and would likely enjoy a canine companion in her forever home. She is a gentle, affectionate little girl who loves being close to her people and is quickly learning that human affection is one of life's greatest joys.

Rita's ideal home will understand that breeder dogs need time to adjust and learn, but the reward is watching them blossom into happy, loving companions. With love and guidance, Rita is sure to become a wonderful family member.

Rita is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and tested neg. for heartworm.
