Rita's Story

Spayed female<br/>About 5 years old<br/>Current on vaccinations <br/>Heartworm positive slower treatment method started <br/>House and crate trained <br/>Microchipped <br/>Good with most dogs, but best with males or larger females, really prefers humans to dogs <br/>Not cat tested<br/>Not tested with children <br/>Was severely underweight it has filled out nicely now <br/>Probably about 70 pounds <br/>Fostered in Round Rock<br/><br/>Yikes y’all! I just made it out of a Texas shelter by the skirt of my pants, or whatever human expression is for “just in time”. I was there with puppies and my pups were all adopted or rescued and I was just there worried by myself. <br/><br/>Not anymore though. I’m in a Foster Home. I was extremely underweight when first brought home from the shelter. Feeding pups takes a toll on a body. <br/><br/>I enjoy eating a bunch and I’m highly food motivated. The good food is making my beautiful yet rough coat look thick and glimmering.<br/><br/>I sleep in my crate through the night. And I’m potty trained and could probably learn so much if you give me food and treats. <br/><br/>I am more of a human focused dog than a dog focused dog. I will bond quickly to a human, so I would be good as an only dog. It’s not that I’m rude to other dogs, it’s more of indifference. <br/><br/>So if you’re the type of person that really wants a furry companion to stay by your side, I’m a great choice.<br/> <br/>Link to Application:<br/>http://www.gsdrescuectx.com/adoption-application.html

Yikes y’all! I just made it out of a Texas shelter by the skirt of my pants, or whatever human expression is for “just in time”. I was there with puppies and my pups were all adopted or rescued and I was just there worried by myself.

Not anymore though. I’m in a Foster Home. I was extremely underweight when first brought home from the shelter. Feeding pups takes a toll on a body.

I enjoy eating a bunch and I’m highly food motivated. The good food is making my beautiful yet rough coat look thick and glimmering.
