Meet Marita, or Rita as her foster lovingly calls her - a gentle little soul with a heart full of potential. Rita came from a difficult past and is slowly learning that people can be kind, patient, and safe. Every day she grows a little braver as she adjusts to her new world. Rita is doing wonderfully with potty training as long as she gets regular trips outside. When left alone for longer periods, she does well in the kitchen with a pee pad. She also sleeps peacefully through the night in her own cozy bed like a perfect lady. While she's not quite a cuddle bug yet, she's beginning to build trust at her own pace. One of Rita's sweetest surprises is how nicely she walks on a leash. She happily trots along on your left side and keeps up impressively well despite her short little legs. She has not discovered jumping on furniture or navigating basement stairs yet, which may actually be a bonus! Rita is a quiet, loving girl who simply needs someone patient enough to let her blossom. With time, kindness, and understanding, this sweet honey is sure to become a devoted companion. All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.
