My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Rizzo: The Sweet and Salty Companion Ready for Love!

Rizzo is a delightful blend of sweetness and sass, making her a unique and loving addition to any home. This charming girl is obedient with her foster family and has formed strong bonds with both humans and doggie friends!

Rizzo’s journey began when she showed up on her foster’s mom’s porch, ready for a new start. Initially a bit fearful, she quickly warmed up when approached gently, showing her affectionate side with lots of kisses and snuggles. With patience and time, Rizzo has thrived in her foster home, where she’s learned to trust and love hard.

While she can be a bit shy and cautious with new people, Rizzo has made great strides. She thrives in structured environments and quickly adapts to new routines. Once she trusts you, she’ll shower you with affection, including plenty of belly rubs and gentle licks!

Rizzo is smart and eager to learn, picking up training commands with ease. She’s also kennel trained and considers her kennel a safe haven. Potty trained and food motivated, she enjoys sharing treat time with her fellow fosters without issue. However, she does have some food guarding tendencies, so a bit of training can help her feel more comfortable during mealtime.

Although Rizzo has a medium energy level, she loves playtime with her dog friends and will occasionally assert her herding instincts during group play. She enjoys walks, car rides, and, of course, food!

Rizzo can be a bit reactive to barking dogs on the other side of the fence and may engage in fence fighting. However, with guidance, she can learn to curb this behavior with leave it and retreat back into the home.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will follow you around like a shadow and offer endless love, Rizzo is ready to find her forever home with someone who will give her the chance to thrive!

Additional adoption info

For us, the adoption process begins the day we take a dog or cat into our rescue. It’s a huge responsibility, taking in a lost soul and promising them a happy life, but we are pretty proud of the forever families we’ve helped create because our adoption process is so thorough.

The first step in adopting is to fill out the adoption application. This helps our volunteers understand what kind of new friend you are looking for, and allows us to identify any issues that would prevent us being able to place certain animals in certain homes. For example, breed restrictions in your town or apartment complex, etc…

The Beauties will conduct a vet check to make sure the pets you currently have are all up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered. We will also contact you to set up a home visit, where we can make sure that the home you have meets the needs of the animal you are interested in. Example: fence height for dogs who are jumpers, stairs for dogs who have mobility challenges, etc… We try to troubleshoot any potential problem areas and offer friendly advise so that our ultimate goal, a forever happy match, can be achieved.

After the application process is complete, the real fun begins! It’s time for Meet-N-Greets! We have a professional dog trainer on our board of directors, and we can schedule her assistance in helping you with dog-to-dog introductions while you are searching for your new family member. It’s amazing how often the existing family pet has a little something to say about who they want to spend time with and having a pro help out makes the potential for a successful intro go through the woof! We mean, roof!

Once you have decided on the dog or cat of your dreams, all that is left to do is sign the adoption contract and pay the fee, which includes all vaccinations, microchip and spay/neuter.
