Rizzy - LOCAL DOG

Fill out an adoption form

Meet Rizzy, a spirited and loving Shar Pei Mix who's ready to find her forever home! This sweet, active pup loves to be on the go, whether she's playing, learning new tricks, or just enjoying time with her favorite humans or four-legged friends.

She’s incredibly eager to please and thrives on positive reinforcement—treats are her love language!

Rizzy is a quick learner and enthusiastic in making friends with other dogs. She is currently living with 4-dogs and 3-cats.

She can be quite animated and vocal while playing, which sometimes other pups need a few minutes to initially adjust to. She has been listening well to other dog’s and cat’s body language, continuing to enhance her social skills.

An experienced dog owner would be best for this goofy girl, and a meet and greet will be arranged prior to adoption to ensure the best fit for all humans and potential new four-legged siblings! She’s house and crate trained, although crates aren’t her favorite! She is happy being occupied with a bone or stuffed kong.

If you're looking for a pup who loves people, loves to learn, and has boundless energy, Rizzy may just be your perfect match!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
