Rita Hayworth JuM

My story

Rita Hayworth is my given name... and I have EARNED that name ;) She was a beautiful actress from the 50's, classy, sleek and sexy... me TOO :) I was the lead character in the movie, Shawshank Redemption too ;) I may have only been on a poster but what I represented to the inmates in the prison?? Freedom, another outside life full of love and glamour.... of course, most of the prisoners would never be free!! Except ANDY, he was truly INNOCENT and got to live in the outside world by outsmarting the warden who framed him. So for me, my life was kind of like a prison for the first 1 yr and 8 months of my life too...I was living on the streets with no real hope of a real life with love and food and no more puppies!! UNTIL the lady who had saved a couple of my litters of puppies FINALLY caught me!! I admit it, I was a little scared- I didn't believe in people anymore, because while i was suffering on the streets they would either drive around me or ignore me or throw things at me to scare me away from them... BUT, I was about to enter the land of milk and honey with my RESCUERS!!! They saved my puppies too and all have been adopted out. Now it is MY TURN! I have become so much more trusting and relaxed in the rescue, never a harsh word or anything but love and food and support and FUN!! I am ready for a loving and patient family, it will take me some time to adjust to a new environment.. so you must work a little to gain my complete trust. i hope you are ready and committed, cause I AM!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
