Meet Rizzo!

Looking for a tiny companion with a big heart? Meet Rizzo!

This sweet little girl can be a bit nervous when meeting new people and exploring new places, but with patience, kindness, and a pocket full of treats, she blossoms into a devoted companion. Rizzo is incredibly food motivated, making it easy (and fun!) to build her confidence and teach her new things.

Rizzo is most comfortable with women and can be especially nervous around men, so she's hoping to find a calm, understanding home that will let her adjust at her own pace. Once she trusts you, you'll see what a wonderful little dog she truly is.

We're still learning about how Rizzo feels around other dogs, but at this time we think she'd be happiest as the only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the love and attention for herself.

Rizzo also has a beautiful coat that will need regular grooming to keep her looking and feeling her best, so she'll do best with a family who is committed to keeping up with her grooming needs.

This summer, Rizzo is dreaming of finding a quiet home, a cozy spot to curl up, and a family who will love her for exactly who she is. If you're looking for a loyal little companion and are willing to let her bloom at her own pace, Rizzo just might be your perfect match. Come meet this sweet girl and see if she's the missing piece to your family!

These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
