Sweet Rizzo was hit by a car, resulting in a broken pelvis and an amputation. She's recovering beautifully and while she's not allowed to jump on and off furniture or exert herself too much, she's really loving life in her foster home. She loves snuggling in her bed, hanging out on the dog pillow in the kitchen enjoying the good smells while her foster mom cooks, chewing on bully sticks, and going to town on stuffed Kongs! She especially looks forward to meal and treat times... she's a good eater!

She is ambivalent about cats and gets along well with other dogs. Now that she's feeling better, she's  begun showing interest in playing with the resident dogs and toys.  She learned to use the doggy door in her foster home by watching the resident dogs and is "daytime" house trained. However, she is afraid to go out by herself at night, so her bed is contained inside of an xPen at bedtime in her foster home. If she has to go out at night (which is rare) she will give vocal signals.

While not fully recovered from her injuries quite yet, we're looking forward to finding her forever family. If you've got a lot of love to give and you might need a sweet, wildly affectionate, three-legged poodle mix in your life; Rizzo may be the gal for you!
