About this Dog
Posed so perfectly for the camera, regal 2-year-old Rita looks every inch a lady! At an elegant 18 pounds, this white and brown beauty is an endearing blend of energetic and easygoing, as content to romp around with other dogs of all sizes as she is to relax beside her foster mom for much of the day. Sweet yet somewhat shy, Rita loves snuggling and cuddling with her foster mom, resting her head on her, showing her paw for affection and then dancing and prancing about. Not only does she LOVE children, she loves chewing on bones large and small, playing with toys, especially a small mouse toy, going for walks and taking rides in the car. Motivated by food and love, Rita currently knows “come,” “sit,” “down,” “no,” and “leave it,” is leash trained, never crated and almost fully house-trained to use a doggy door. Now Rita, who’s being treated for heartworm disease and requires more rest than activity at the moment, would relish the chance to find an affectionate family that will complete her training, including her commands, and keep her happy fur-ever. Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email [email protected] for more information, as we can't accept calls.

Adopt Rita and Receive Rita's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Rita's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Rita's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Rita, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Rita's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Rita was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Rita’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Rita’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Rita’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
