My personality

My story

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

Rizzo is a 6 month old rat terrier/chihuahua mix, approx 6 months old weighing 12 lbs. She is a tall beauty with fun puppy energy. Her foster mom is hoping she can be adopted along with her mother since they are very bonded. Cookie is about 6-7 years old, still has a long life to lead since small dogs live a long time and she is in great health and just had her dental cleaning and all her vaccines.

Rizzo loves playing with other dogs. Rizzo and Cookie were living with many dog relatives when she was surrendered to us. Because of that, she is a little shy, but friendly. She gets confidence from her other dog friends, so finding a forever home with another dog is very important! Plus they play and keep each other company so a twosome would make a lot of sense.

Rizzo is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations.
Dog door trained
Does well with other small dogs
Older kids would be best
Unsure about Cats, but I think she would be ok!

If you would like to learn more about Rizzo and schedule a meet and greet, please reach out to Paula @ spwheels1@gmail.com.

Adoption fee for the two dogs to cover vet expenses is $500

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

At Valley Dogs we make every effort to place the right animal in the right home. To aid in this goal, we use trained Adoption Consultants to help you select the best match for your lifestyle. You will meet with an Adoption Consultant and discuss your lifestyle, activity level, expectations, likes/dislikes, and past experiences with animals. Your consultant will then recommend the best match for your family and your lifestyle.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We do not own a kennel / shelter type facility. In most cases, we believe one of the effective and successful ways to match families and pets is to foster them in our own homes. Fostering dogs allows us to help train the dogs to have good doggie manners and allows us to learn about the dog's personality and character. Ultimately allowing us to give potential adopters complete information on the pet's behavior and how well he / she will fit with a family and lifestyle. Unfortunately, when we are not able to find the most appropriate foster home, we will on occasion utilize a private kennel on a case by case basis.
