My story

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

Meet Rizzo!
Rizzo is an almost 6-month-old puppy who has had a rough start to life, but that has not slowed this little lady down! Rizzo first came to the shelter in early October with a very severe case of demodex mange. She has been in a foster for a few weeks now, healing and learning how to be a family dog.
While in foster, she has shown that she is crate trained, good with both dogs and kids, and is great on leash! She is actively working on her house training, so will need some patience!
Rizzo will need lifelong care and medication to help her manage her condition. She will need some pampering with a special medicated baths to help her grow her hair back and keep her skin healthy!
If you are interested in meeting Rizzo, please contact Stephani, the foster coordinator at 336-937-1867!
