My story

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

Meet Ritz, the Adorable Poodle Mix girl!



Are you ready to add a bundle of joy and laughter to your home? Meet Ritz, our one-year-old poodle mix, who is ready to find her forever family!



Ritz is a crate-trained cutie and is making great progress with her potty training. Given regular opportunities to go outside, she does wonderfully. This affectionate, confident, and cuddly girl loves people and absolutely ADORES other pups. Her curious and eager-to-please nature makes her a joy to be around.



As a young and energetic gal, Ritz needs an owner committed to providing her with plenty of exercise to help her burn off her puppy energy. A home with a fenced-in yard and a canine playmate would be perfect for keeping her entertained. Ritz thrives on positive reinforcement training and will need a family to continue guiding her as she grows. Due to her goofy bouncy nature and tendency for vertical greetings, we prefer a home for her with dog-savvy kids that won’t be easily knocked down.



Ritz is a happy-go-lucky, silly, and goofy girl who just wants to have fun! Her hilarious antics and solo zoomies in the yard will have you laughing and smiling in no time. Ritz loves intensely, and it’s impossible not to return that love when you see her beautiful, loving eyes. If you’re ready to welcome Ritz into your heart and home, she’ll bring endless joy and affection to your life.



At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info.



*/*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/*



We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time.



For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com.



GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well.



*/*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter.



*****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications.   If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted.   We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that.  Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you.   Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal.   Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****
