About Rika

Meet Rika, a delightful little pup from the R litter, currently available for pre-adoption. Rika’s mama, Raspberry, spent two years in a pen before we stepped in to help. After settling in, Mama gave birth to Rika and her siblings, and now they are ready to find loving homes. At just three months old, Rika is a lively and affectionate baby. She’s still learning about house training but is doing quite well. Rika is a mixed breed, with the charm of a Yorkshire Terrier and Rat Terrier, and she sports a beautiful tricolor coat. She gets along with kids, dogs, and even cats, making her an excellent addition to any family. Rika’s adoption fee is $225, which covers her spay surgery, vaccinations, and microchip. This adorable girl requires a fenced yard to keep her safe as she explores her new home. An initial Zoom call is part of the process to ensure you and your family are the perfect fit for her. Don’t miss the chance to bring this little lovebug into your life—she’s sure to steal your heart. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
