Rita's Story

MEET AND GREETS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY AFTER AN APPLICATION IS RECEIVED - www.applythreestooges.com Rita is a 5-year-old Boxer and English Bulldog mix who’s as unique as she is beautiful. Short, stout, and sturdy at just over 60 pounds, she’s built like a little tank with a big heart. Rita has spent nearly her entire life in a shelter environment, patiently waiting for her turn to experience a real home. Because of that, she can be shy and cautious when meeting new people—but once she learns she can trust you, her loyalty runs deep. Rita gives her whole heart to those she loves, forming an unbreakable bond with her person. She’s housebroken, kennel trained, and appreciates routine and calm surroundings. Rita prefers to be the only dog in the home where she can soak up all the love and attention she’s missed out on for so long. Rita is ready to trade her kennel for a couch and her uncertainty for security. She’s not looking for perfection—just someone patient and kind who will give her the time she needs to blossom into the loving, devoted companion she’s always wanted to be. If you believe in second chances and want to make a true difference in a dog’s life, Rita is ready to give you hers.
