Rizzo was adopted in November, 2020. Here he is with his new human!


Rizzo is an enthusiastic young smooth BC (possible mix) who had a little hiccup in his young life, but is more than ready to move onward to a permanent home that will help him to blossom into the dog he should be. This guy languished in a crate without much attention for about a year of his short 2-1/2yr old life. He wasn’t abused, just ignored except for basic needs. Despite that, (or because of that) he is eager to learn, very food motivated, and loves to retrieve frisbees & tennis balls. He has a fairly good recall, but until a firm bond & relationship has formed, he should have a fenced yard or always be on leash.

Rizzo loves car rides, is crate trained, and knows basic commands. What more could anyone want in a dog?
