About Rizzo

Meet Rizzo, a loving member of a bonded pair with her companion Sandy. At just 2 years old, Rizzo showcases a perfect mix of affection and shyness. While she may take a moment to warm up, once she feels secure, her sweet nature shines through. Both Rizzo and Sandy are eager to find cozy laps to snuggle in, making them the ultimate "velcro dogs." They already know the ropes of house life, walking nicely on leashes during their daily strolls, and they have almost mastered potty training. As long as someone keeps them company outside, they'll take care of their bathroom breaks before returning for more snuggles on the couch. Rizzo is ready to find a forever home alongside Sandy, where they can continue to grow together. If you’re ready to provide a loving home for these two best friends, they can't wait to meet you!
