About Rigatoni

Rigatoni packs a lot of personality into a small frame. He’s got energy to spare and is always up for playtime or a hike. On the flip side, Rigatoni is just as committed to cuddling and doesn’t mind transforming into a lap dog after a day of fun. He’s an expressive communicator who prefers to huff and puff rather than bark, making his presence known in a subtle way. House and crate trained, good for grooming, and knows basic commands—he’s easy to handle and eager to learn, especially with food as a motivator. Around other dogs Rigatoni shines, thriving in their company and hoping his future home offers a canine sibling or two. He’s still refining his leash skills (especially when it comes to seeing other dogs out and about) but is responsive and eager to adapt. Cats, however, are a no-go; he finds them too tempting to chase. He’s not had much experience with children and due to his tendency to jump when excited, he’s best suited for homes with adults or older kids. Rigatoni doesn’t enjoy being left alone for long stretches and will be happiest in a home where company and activity are regular parts of his day. Born on March 10, Rigatoni is a Pisces—fitting for his sweet and affectionate side. Click apply to start the adoption process.
