Animal Bio

A foster-to-adopt option is available for me, giving us the chance to get to know each other before making it official! Rita Lynn is a beautiful 2-year-old shepherd mix with both the brains and the heart to match her looks. She is a super smart, treat-motivated girl who loves to learn and already knows “sit” very well. This gentle and sweet girl enjoys engaging with her people and thrives with continued training and mental enrichment. Rita Lynn is very patient while having her harness put on and is affectionate with those she trusts—she loves giving kisses to her people and sharing quiet, meaningful moments together. While she enjoys human companionship, she does value her personal space. When it comes to other dogs, Rita Lynn can be selective, and her comfort level may vary depending on the environment. In some situations she may need a little extra space on leash, while in others she can remain calm and tolerant. Because of this, Rita Lynn would feel most comfortable as an only dog in the home. She is looking for an experienced owner who understands canine behavior and can provide structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement. With the right guidance and a patient, loving home, Rita Lynn will blossom into a loyal and devoted companion. Rita Lynn currently weighs about 47lbs., is approximately 2 years old (est. birth date 03/28/2023), and her adoption fee is $85. Rita Lynn has been spayed, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped.
