Description:

Meet Rita!

Rita is a smart, happy, and attentive companion. She loves being talked to and getting belly rubs. She can be content just sitting nearby, but also loves walks and the outdoors.

Rita is social with other dogs and currently lives with two female Lhasas. The three of them run, jump and play tag in our backyard.

Rita is young and has lots of energy, so she needs walks to burn it off. When meeting cats or other small animals on walks, she is not aggressive but curious. Rita has alpha tendencies, but will submit to another alpha dog.

Rita does best with calm and soft spoken commands and knows the basics ones (come, sit, no, leave it, down, stay). She is potty trained and asks to go outside.

She can't wait to find her forever home with an active person or family! A home with another dog and older or no children would be the best placement for little Rita.

Please fill out one of our on-line applications by clicking on the adoption button below if you are interested in adopting Rita. Thank you!

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
