About Rizzo

Adoption Fee: $450
Chow Chow mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Hey everyone, my name is Rizzo but I also go by cutie, sweetheart, and love-bug! I'm a 2 year old, 40 lb., Chow Chow mix and I'm pretty adorable if I do say so myself. Right now I'm in a foster home and I adore my foster family! They give me a lot of affection, which is great because I'm really affectionate myself. My favorite thing to do is get pet! I love the attention and it makes me SO happy. When people stop petting me I'm always there to remind them to keep going. I'll put my paw on them, snuggle up to them, or just give them those cute puppy dog eyes (I hear that usually works). Sometimes I get nervous meeting new people but once I know I can trust you I will LOVE you! I also have a canine foster brother who is super fun to hang out and play with. We like to play tug-of-war and run around together. That reminds me, I'm quite adventurous and really enjoy being outside. It would be amazing if I had a home with a fenced-in yard to explore and a family that would take me hiking! I've been told that sometimes when I'm being walked I pull because I get overly excited. But don't worry because I'm learning not to do that with my new harness. I also wanted to mention that a cat-free home would be best for me. I'm looking for my furever home and a family to share my heart with! My foster family tells me I have a big one. Could your home be the one for me? Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (www.anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible, organization. We are an all volunteer group, so after submitting your application, if you don't hear back from us within a few days, please e-mail us at [email protected]. Be sure to read about the adoption process (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-process/) on our website, so you'll know what to expect and fill out all fields on the adoption application (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/) or we won't be able to process it. We are a foster-based rescue and do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. Please do not contact us requesting a meeting with a dog because we are an all-volunteer organization, and these requests tie up our volunteers who could instead be checking applications. As you can imagine, we are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We do not have a shelter facility and we provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering, and microchipping before transporting our dogs. Then, we provide whatever follow up care is necessary while they are in foster care. All of this is very expensive and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources, so if you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through your kindness and that of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (www.anewchancear.org) Thanks so much.
