Adopt Rita

Poodle · Female · Young · 2 years

Rita is a bright, affectionate little sweetheart with so much love to give. She absolutely adores cuddles, happily climbing onto a lap whenever she gets the chance and giving lots of kisses. She has a playful streak too, entertaining herself by tossing toys into the air and catching them all by herself. While she can sometimes be cautious with new people at first, her curiosity soon shines through and once she feels safe, she becomes wonderfully friendly! Rita is the sort of dog who will be your constant shadow, ready for a fuss, a snuggle and a cosy place by your side. With kind owners who help her build confidence and show her the comforts of home life, she will offer a special kind of devotion and charm. Home requirements: Greta and Rita are a delightful bonded pair looking for a calm, understanding home where they can continue to blossom together. These lovely girls would thrive with patient adopters who can offer them a secure garden for pottering, playtime and ongoing housetraining, allowing them a space to call their own as they continue gently building their confidence with the wider world. Life in a quieter residential setting or more rural location would suit them best, where walks can be slowly introduced in peaceful, low-traffic areas and they can gradually progress at their own pace. Car travel and busier environments will need introducing slowly, and living with sensible secondary school-aged children who understand when to give them space could fit well. Most of all, Greta and Rita must stay together, as they adore one another’s company and love nothing more than curling up side by side. Available at Shoreham (Sussex), Shoreham by Sea
