HAPPY SPRING! We've finally had a few pawsome days to enjoy being outside! WOOF! My friends from PetConnect Rescue brought by a pawsome lady for you to meet who will make the Spring, and every other season, ones to enjoy and remember!  Meet Baby Rita!

Rita is an adorably cute 13-week-old Labrador Retriever mix! She is looking for a human with previous dog experience who will be patient, kind, and loving with her as she can be a little reserved at first! Barks! Then, it's time to play!

Rita loves putting things in her mouth as she is teething and has a lot of Labrador in her!

Rita loves to run around a big yard! Sometimes she gets the puppy zoomies making it fun for everyone! WOOF! She is a got fetcher, enjoying chasing leaves, chewing sticks and just having puppy fun.

Rita is doing great learning crate and house training. Barkingly, she is doing well-learning stair climbing.

Rita is food motivated so training will go very well.  Cookies are a favorite!

Since Rita is a puppy, she requires a human who is home a good part of the day to continue her training, no exceptions! She is up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and preventatives.  She will need to be spayed at the age of 6 months.

WOOF! A note from my friends at PetConnect Rescue: Rita's immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age and therefore, she is not suited for apartment/condo, townhouse or office/work setting without a private fenced yard. She will not be able to go to public places where she could possibly be exposed to the germs of unvaccinated dogs, such as PetSmart/PetCo and dog parks until s/he is 16 weeks old.

The adoption fee for Rita is $350, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. The fee DOES NOT INCLUDE spay/neuter if the pup is not already spayed/neutered. If the animal you are adopting is not already spayed/neutered, you will be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered.

Puppy adoption fees help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals needing our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs are things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many!

 
The first step in PetConnect Rescue approving adoption applicants is to complete a Veterinarian check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important so they will be speaking with the Veterinarian(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your Veterinarian.
