AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION BY APPLICATION Rihanna was brought to the shelter as a stray and was never reclaimed, but she's ready to leave that chapter behind and start fresh with a loving family. When she first arrived, she was very nervous and unsure of her surroundings. After a few days of patience and care, she began to relax-and now she's turned into a total love bug who craves affection and companionship. She did arrive matted, so regular grooming will be important in her future home to keep her comfortable and feeling her best. Rihanna is sensitive to fast movements, so she would do best in a calm home without small children where she can feel safe and secure. Once she trusts you, she's incredibly sweet and enjoys soaking up attention. She appears to be kennel trained for short periods, though she may still have a few accidents overnight, so she may need some continued work with potty training. Rihanna does okay with cats, though she can be a bit scared of them at times. She has not been formally dog tested, but has not shown any negative reactions toward dogs so far. With a patient and understanding adopter, Rihanna will blossom into a devoted and affectionate companion. Rihanna has received her DHPP and Bordetella vaccinations. She is pending a microchip, dewormer, and heartworm test. Her spay will be done either 4/24 or 5/1.
