Rita's Story

Rita is a sweet, gentle girl who may need a little time to show you her true personality. She is naturally shy and reserved, especially when meeting new people, but once she feels safe and comfortable, she slowly begins to warm up and let her sweet side shine.<br/><br/>Rita is an intelligent, calm, and loyal girl who enjoys the quieter side of life. She's perfectly happy being a couch potato and spending peaceful time with her people. She knows how to sit and takes treats nicely, and she keeps her kennel clean.<br/><br/>Rita gets along well with other dogs and has done well with children ages 13 and up. She does resource guard her food, so her family will need to give her space during mealtimes and be mindful of this behavior around other pets.<br/><br/>Because Rita can be shy and slow to warm up, she would do best in a quiet home with a consistent routine. She doesn't need to be rushed into becoming social. She needs someone willing to let her build trust at her own pace and celebrate the small moments when she chooses to come closer.<br/><br/>With her adorable pointy ears, speckled markings, and those precious head tilts when something catches her attention, Rita is a quiet little sweetheart who is waiting for someone patient enough to discover just how wonderful she is.
