About Rizzo
Rizzo is the kind of dog who greets you with both a kiss and a bit of sass. She arrived on her foster’s porch unsure of the world, but with patience and gentle introductions, she’s turned into a genuinely loving and affectionate companion. Rizzo bonds closely with her humans and gets along well with other dogs, sharing her home and even treat times without much fuss, though she can get a bit possessive around food. She thrives on routine and structure, quickly picking up new habits and commands. You’ll find that Rizzo uses her kennel as a safe space and is fully house trained, which makes her easy to manage day-to-day. Playful but not frantic, she enjoys social play with other dogs and has bursts of classic herding energy. Out on walks or during playtime, Rizzo shows her smarts and eagerness to learn, but she does need some guidance with barking or fence reactivity, especially with noisy neighbors. She’s a loyal, shadow-like presence at your side, but tends to be cautious and a bit shy around new people. For that reason, Rizzo is better suited for homes without children, in an environment where she can continue to build her confidence with experienced guidance. Her Leo sun sign gives her that classic combination of boldness and loyalty—she’ll keep you entertained and loved in equal measure. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
