Rita 3

My story

Sweet baby girl! Hi there! I’m a 2-year-old female spayed Terrier mix, weighing in at 15 lbs, and I’m here to be the perfect companion. I was a TJ rescue before calling San Diego my amazing foster and hopefully soon a permanent home! I am mostly bathroom trained. As long as you keep me on a schedule, I’ll be your little angel. I’ve slept in a crate just fine before, but right now I love snuggling up and sleeping through the night in bed. I have a little limp from a past injury (I’m still working on that), my specialist says I won’t need surgery for now, but I might need a check-up down the road. I take doggie aspirin for pain management and do pretty well with it. I’m still pretty active despite my injury, but I need to take it easy on rough activities and have my playtime monitored so I don’t overdo it. I’m dog-friendly and cat-friendly, though I’ve got a bit of a prey drive, so confident cats are best. I’m also good with kids, though, given my leg, I’d probably be best around older ones who will respect my injury. I’m still a bit of a puppy at heart, which means I sometimes like to dig and chew. But I’m easily kept busy with lots of chew toys and bones when you’re not around. I absolutely love daily walks and sunbathing, and playing fetch is one of my favorite activities. Treats are a big motivator for me, too! Even though I may not be the best hiker because of my leg, I’m always up for some outdoor fun and daily playtime. I’d do best in a home where I have a smaller or medium-sized dog friend or a family that can dedicate time to playing with me. I have a great temperament and am always eager to make my people happy. Just keep an eye on my leg, and I’ll be the best companion you could ask for! My adoption fee is $400 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
