Meet Rizzo, aka Baby Bear. This 4-month-old chonk is extremely outgoing and friendly; she goes up to every stranger she passes and even gives kisses. Rizzo is 100% housebroken, crate trained, walks great on a leash, excellent on car rides, sleeps though the night without a peep, and is just the easiest pup. She loves playing with her four foster siblings.

 

Rizzo was named after the leader of the Pink Ladies because she’s a tough little girl—she was run over by a car, taken by animal control to the local shelter, and wasn’t able to walk. They called Great Pyrs and Paws who took her immediately for X-rays, and thankfully nothing was broken. Over the next week, with the help of her foster family, she made a miraculous FULL RECOVERY!

 

We’ve recently sent Rizzo’s DNA off for testing, so we’ll have a full breed breakdown and health-testing results soon.

Rizzo is currently being fostered in Austin, TX but can be on the next NW transport.
