Rita-ADOPTED

Rita is a gorgeous cattle dog that ended up in a local high-kill shelter along with her puppies. We do not know if Rita was an owner surrender or picked up as a stray, but we are glad we got her out of that shelter. All of Rita’s puppies were adopted while Rita herself, waited for her special family to come along. During that time, Rita’s foster family learned many things about her and shared that information on Rita’s bio page on LDDR’s website. That information was instrumental in matching Rita to her new family. Her adoptive mom tells us, “You know, without the bio on her web page, I probably would not have zeroed in on her. That information about her made all the difference in the world. She is really the right dog for our family.” Being a cattle dog, Rita needs a job to do. In her adoptive family, Rita has the wonderful task of keeping a watchful eye over two active youngsters. She enjoys swimming, playing at the dog park, and as her adoptive mom says, “she goes absolutely ape on this tire swing that we have outside.” Coming very close to being another statistic, Rita’s is truly another Happy Tails story.
