Rizo is a very sweet little girl. She loves to be pet, being outside, walks well on a leash and does very well being in her kennel. She is very quiet (we haven't heard her voice yet). Trusting new people is something she needs work on - she gets very shy and skittish and would prefer to keep her distance until she knows she can trust them. She has been a really fun, easy house guest for us while she waits to meet her forever family!
Rizzo update- She is doing well in her foster home and looks amazing. She is such a pretty girl. Rizzo is looking for a family that understands it will take a little while for her to earn their trust. While she is very confident with dogs, she is not with people. Not sure what her story before HTR is, however, she doesn't trust new people right away. But if you take the time to earn her trust you will see how special this girl is. She would do well in a quiet home or maybe help bring calm energy to another pup or pack. She would do well in most homes as long as her new family understands it will take her a little bit to gain trust and adjust to a new environment.
Pretty, sweet, calm- this girl is worth the effort to get to know.
She has been attending a class for shy pups and is doing well. We would like the adopters to continue with this class.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids
The breeds of our dogs and cats are a "best guess." We often do not know what mix they are and have to base it on what we think they look like, and base it on breeds often found in the area they came from. Most of our dogs who have gotten DNA tests done are 4-10 breeds mixed together. Because their breed mix is a guess we cannot guarantee a "full grown size" of many of our younger animals.
Happy Tails Rescue Minnesota is located at 7331 Baker St NE, Fridley MN 55432.We are open for adoption events from 12-5 every Sunday.

All of our cats and dogs are INDOOR pets and are NOT to be left outside unattended (even in a fenced yard), or running loose!
