Adopt Rita

Poodle · Female · Senior · 9 years

Rita is a caniche who has spent her whole life in a nursery, locked in a cage and used only to have puppies. Therefore, the "normal" world is completely new to her: she never met a caress, a home, a soft bed, a leash or a quiet walk. She's a very scary little dog, especially with people, and that's why she's not fit to live with children. Rita needs a family with other balanced dogs, as they will be their greatest support to learn to trust and feel safe. At first, he probably doesn't want to leave the house and be dirty with the pee and the poop; he just never had a chance to learn. He needs a very patient, committed and loving family that is willing to accompany his process of rebirth and celebrate every small advance. Rita deserves to first find out what it's like to be loved.

Read original (es)

Rita es una caniche que ha pasado toda su vida en un criadero, encerrada en una jaula y usada únicamente para tener cachorros. Por eso, el mundo “normal” es completamente nuevo para ella: nunca conoció una caricia, un hogar, una cama blandita, una correa ni un paseo tranquilo. Es una perrita muy miedosa, especialmente con las personas, y por ello no es apta para convivir con niños. Rita necesita una familia con otros perros equilibrados, ya que ellos serán su mayor apoyo para aprender a confiar y sentirse segura. Al principio, es probable que no quiera salir de casa y que sea sucia con el pis y la caca; simplemente nunca tuvo oportunidad de aprender. Necesita una familia muy paciente, comprometida y amorosa, que esté dispuesta a acompañar su proceso de renacer y celebrar cada pequeño avance. Rita merece descubrir por primera vez lo que es ser querida.
