Rita's Story

If there's one thing Rita knows how to do, it's have a good time! This friendly, vivacious young dog is a total hoot. Playful and silly, she is lots of fun to be around. She would love to find an active, fun-loving family to match her great energy!<br/><br/>Rita is a social butterfly who loves to make new friends. And this goofy little wiggle butt loves to keep busy! She is a passionate fetch player, and could while away long afternoons with you tossing the ball in the yard. She also enjoys going for jogs with our run group, and was playful towards other dogs in play group. <br/><br/>Once she gets her energy out, Rita shows her super sweet side. She loves to plop down and soak up some cuddles or simply watch the world go by together. She just has one of those charming personalities that makes you want to spend time with her. <br/><br/>Miss Rita is estimated to be around a year old and weighs 40 lbs.

You must schedule a meet with a dog in advance - we are not currently accepting walk-ins. Please look online first to see if there are any dogs you think would be a good fit for your home before scheduling a meet. To get the process started, visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog and fill out the form. One of our adoption counselors will get in touch to schedule and confirm your meet! At the kennel, an adoption counselor will introduce you and your family to the adoptable dogs, share information we know about them, and discuss our suggested ways for successfully integrating a new dog into your home. You are welcome to meet multiple dogs. If the dog you adopt is already fixed, he or she may leave with you that day - otherwise, the dog can go home after receiving the spay or neuter surgery.)<br/><br/>About Our Dogs: All available dogs have gone through a behavioral and medical assessment. This assessment is a snapshot of who the dog is at that given time. We cannot make any guarantees with regard to behavior, temperament or health of any City Dog once they are in the home. Most of our dogs are picked up as strays, so we do not know what kind of home environment they were living in (i.e. with kids, other dogs or other cats), nor do we know if most of them are house trained. Everything we know about them is based on volunteer and staff observations. We do have some dogs in foster homes, where they will have more information about how the dog is in a home environment. It is very hard to tell with certainty whether or not a dog will be good with kids, cats or another dog. If you have kids in the home or another dog, we do require that they be present for a meet and greet with the dog you are considering for adoption.<br/><br/>Heath/Vaccinations: Dogs that are adopted directly from the kennel need to go to your personal vet within two weeks of leaving the kennel. All dogs receive their DAPPL, Rabies, and Bordatella vaccines, though you may be required to get follow up boosters. All dogs come microchipped and with a Cuyahoga County license.
