About Rizzo

Meet Rizzo, a sweet female Terrier mix in need of a loving home. This charming dog has been in foster care for over two months, making real progress in her social skills. While she may take a bit of time to warm up to new people, once she does, she transforms into a snuggly companion who loves to follow you around. Rizzo is about three years old and weighs just 12 lbs. She’s been spayed, is up to date on vaccinations, and comes with vet records to ease your mind. Rizzo thrives in a home with another dog; she really needs a buddy, especially a small one, to keep her company and help manage her energy. She’s both potty-trained and leash-trained, making her a great fit for an active family that loves long hikes and playtime. A fenced yard would also be ideal for her. Although there is a rehoming fee of $300 to cover vet expenses, the foster parent is open to discussing options if cost is a concern. Rizzo is ready to settle into her new home where she can bond with her new family. If you think you can provide the love and companionship Rizzo deserves, reach out to schedule a meet and greet!
