RITA

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. RITA was saved and cared for by Muscat Dog Adoption, before sending him with other saved dogs to Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine. They arrived in the US on 28th January 2025 and were transported to the rescue where they are settling in. RITA was cleared by the US canine center for diseases upon entry into the US. She is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, weighs around 33 pounds and has an estimated date of birth or 10 March 2024. After being at the rescue a few months on 7 May, Rita was lucky enough to be chosen to go for a day out on our Lets go for a Walk, Doggy Day Out Program.  She was initially very scared, but soon settled down. She left at 10am and came back to the rescue today at 4pm after a wonderful break away from the kennels - she was so scared when I brought her out but Kelly emailed me not long after getting home saying she is doing great. It just sometimes takes a little time to get away from the stress of the kennels and not have all the energy to feed off and be able to relax... and relax she did. She had a nap on the couch and was even dreaming, which shows how comfortable she was, she saw the cats and gave a low growl when cat approached but nothing other than that. She met another dog who she happily shared the couch with and my absolute favourite is she met the parakeet, FRED, who apparently wanted to nibble on her nose. That photo made me laugh so much. So a wonderful relaxing day for this sweet girl, this is the fist time she ahs been in a house and for her first time away from her Omani friends she did amazing. Stray dogs in Oman are referred to as "Wadi Dogs" and are a mix o f th e popular sighthound breeds, specifically thought to be descendents of the majestic Saluki and other smaller breeds, many resembling whippets with their small agile frames. If not saved these dogs are often shot or brutally ran over and left for dead. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks. RITA is available for adoption for an adoption fee of $300, as noted she is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine and families are required to complete and submit an  adoption application and when approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and hopefully take home this precious girl home. Applications are processed with 24 hours of them being received.
