About

Meet Rza

  Rza pronounced (Rizza) is a 39lb spayed female and is about 3 years old. She is the perfect size for cuddling, which she loves! She will bring her people toys to play fetch or tug for a few minutes at a time and she will even let you win sometimes (for your own self esteem). Rza loves getting pets on her tummy and scratches, and curling up between your legs, laying around for hours. She loves getting brushed, going on walks, and tearing up stuffed toys. She is always happy and relaxed when she is with her people at home. She does like to bark at other dogs walking past the house or yard, or on a walk, but quiets down after a minute or two. Rza is 100% potty trained. She's had no accidents indoors since she entered foster care 4 months ago. She sleeps through the night 8 + hours.   Rza had a rough few years of life before coming to us - she was left to live outside for the last two winters in ND and was attacked multiple times by large farm dogs, requiring vet visits at least twice. Because of this, she DOES resource guard food/bones from other dogs in her foster home. However, she DOES NOT resource guard from humans! You can take found "food" on the street right out of her mouth, and she will let you take her bones or food or toys away with zero issues. With other dogs, Rza also tends to escalate past the comfort threshold when playing with other dogs. Because of this, Rza would do best and be happiest as an only dog. She loves humans much more than dogs anyway!   Cats - Rza was non-reactive and respectful indoors for a couple days, but when outside, if a cat runs by she will chase. She has not been around children, but she does tend to jump up when greeting people.    Rza would love to be loved and cuddled by someone she can be absolutely devoted to!  Interested in adopting?
