Rigatoni is on a weight loss journey Foster Home Feedback Foster Feedback 5/10/24: We've had Rigatoni since 3/24 and he's adjusted well to our household - still working on shedding some weight. He is a silly, goofy boy with perpetual happy tail. Rigatoni loves attention & pets. He knows sit and come and is working on stay. He kennels well, and loves his ball or any toy he can hold in his mouth. Rigatoni is the Goodest boy! Foster Feedback 3/23/24: Big Rig! Such a lovely dog. He is cat, big, and little dog friendly. He is crated trained and didn't have one accident. He doesn't jump, but he is overweight right now, so not sure if that will change. He is so sweet, just followed me around. He went out by himself to go potty in my fenced yard. We went for a walk and he is a big pup, so he can be strong, but with a front hook harness, he did well. I have not heard him bark, but he gets these little mumbles when he is excited to see you. Rigatoni is a gem, if you are looking for a happy black bear, he is your pup. ** Rigatoni is anaplasmosis and lyme positive. These are tick-borne illnesses, and he is currently being treated with Doxycycline. To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org
