Mama Ritz (JN25-475)'s Story

HIGHLIGHTS -Requires a confident established dog in the home -Fenced in yard required Meet Mama Ritz - A Quiet Soul Taking Her First Steps Forward Mama Ritz is an 11 lb 3-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who is still learning what it means to feel safe and loved. Right now, she's very nervous around people and not yet comfortable with handling-but she's beginning to take small, brave steps in the right direction. Mama Ritz will need a calm, structured home where she's given the time, space, and patience to move at her own pace. Mama Ritz also needs a securely fenced yard where she can safely explore and feel comfortable. She feels most at ease around other dogs and will require a confident canine companion in the home to help her navigate the world. Because of her needs, Mama Ritz will do best with an experienced adopter who understands how to provide the gentle care and guidance she deserves. With a gentle environment and zero pressure, Mama Ritz has the potential to slowly grow into a more confident, loving version of herself. ----------- Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

National Mill Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy

Thank you for your interest! If you have not already done so, please submit the adoption application found at this link: https://nmdr.org/our-dogs/adopt/ if you have already submitted an application- Within 72 hours of receipt of your application, an Adoptions Team member will respond to you via EMAIL with instructions on next steps in the application process.

If you are looking to adopt from outside of Colorado, you do need to follow the above process, and if approved to adopt, you will need to travel to Colorado to meet and pick up your next family member. We do not allow shipping or transportation.
