Rizzo's Story

Rizzo is an 8-year-old, 12 lb little gentleman with the perfect mix of spunky and snuggly.💛<br/>He may be a bit shy at first, but give him a day or two and he'll decide you're his person--and once he does, he's stuck to you like glue. Your shadow, your cuddle buddy, your under-the-covers-at-your-feet kind of best friend 🐾<br/><br/>Rizzo has just the right amount of playful energy, but let's be honest... if your lap is available, that's where he belongs. He absolutely loves head rubs and gentle massages, and he's one of the quietest pups around--his foster hasn't even heard him bark!<br/><br/>His daily routine? He'll wake you up about 10 minutes before your alarm (your built-in clock ⏰), head outside, enjoy his meals, and happily take his medication wrapped in a little slice of cheese (his favorite part 🧀). Since starting his medication, Rizzo hasn't had a single seizure, and his epilepsy is well-managed with daily meds.<br/><br/>He's perfectly content lounging on soft blankets when you're away. He does great with dogs, cats, and everyone he meets, though he appreciates having his own space when he wants it! <br/><br/>Rizzo is selective when it comes to potty training, but he is working hard on it! He will happily use potty pads if he can't make it outside!<br/><br/>Rizzo would thrive in a calm, loving home--especially with someone who is home often and wants a loyal little companion who will never leave their side.<br/>If you're looking for a tiny best friend with a big heart... Rizzo is waiting for you 🐶💫<br/><br/>To apply to have your home considered for adoption, read about our adoption process or fees, and find out about interstate transport, please visit our website at https://longwayhome.org/adopt.<br/><br/>❤ <br/>Long Way Home makes no guarantees on breed--most animals we receive from shelters are mixed breeds.
