Rita landed at the shelter late one night alongside her brother, and she’s settled into rescue life with the same gusto she applied to her first car ride—howling along to the Beatles and charming the staff. She’s a young lab mix with golden and black coloring, and everything about her says playful puppy: boundless energy, silly antics, and an eagerness to explore every corner. Rita’s looking for a patient family ready for the ups and downs of puppyhood, who will give her space to grow, learn, and tag along on every adventure. She’ll thrive with an active household who loves the outdoors as much as she will. Rita is spayed and up to date on vaccines. She gets along with other dogs and would do well with children. House training is still a work in progress, so expect a few accidents but plenty of enthusiasm while she figures it out. If you’re looking for an energetic companion who finds joy in just about everything, Rita might be your perfect match. Click apply to start the adoption process.
