Rizzy - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Grand Forks, North Dakota

Meet Rizzy!

Rizzy is a sweet, calm, and relaxed mixed-breed girl. She may seem unsure around other dogs when she first meets them, but once she has time to warm up, she gets along with them great. She is also not bothered by cats and does not seem interested in chasing them. Rizzy has been around children without any issues.

She enjoys car rides, although she tries to hop out at every stop, so she will need to be safely secured and watched when the doors open. Rizzy recently had her first grooming appointment. She was not a fan of the bath, but she loved getting her blowout!

Rizzy has done well staying in a kennel during the day, but at night she prefers to cuddle up and sleep in bed with her foster family. She also whines to let you know when she needs to go outside to potty. Overall, Rizzy is a laid-back and loving girl who just needs a little time to feel comfortable. Once she warms up, she is a wonderful companion who would fit well into many different types of homes.
