Grease Litter PA - Rizzo - Terrier Dog for Adoption in VERNON ROCKVL, Connecticut

If Rizzo’s bat ears don’t get your attention, her personality definitely will.

Rizzo is the playful, energetic girl of the bunch—the one who is always ready to turn an ordinary moment into a game. She loves to wrestle and roughhouse with the other dogs in her foster home and would be thrilled to have a canine playmate who appreciates her enthusiastic style. She’s active, curious, and ready to be part of whatever fun is happening.

But Rizzo isn’t all action. This little girl also loves individual attention from her people, and belly rubs are one of the quickest ways to win her over. After she’s had a chance to play and burn off some puppy energy, she’s more than happy to soak up affection.

Rizzo is a Terrier mix, and for this litter we actually know both sides of the family. Mama is a small, scruffy Terrier mix who did a wonderful job raising her babies, while Dad appears to be a handsome Boston Terrier mix. With two relatively small parents, we have a little more insight than usual into where Rizzo may be headed as she grows.

Like any young puppy, Rizzo will need a family ready for everything that comes with raising a youngster: training, socialization, playtime, patience, consistency, and plenty of love. In return, you’ll get a funny, affectionate, high-spirited companion with unmistakable ears and a personality to match.

Rizzo is available for transport to the Greater Philadelphia area, serving adopters throughout Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, and Delaware. Pickup logistics are arranged at adoption.
