About rizzo: Located At: BARC Animal Shelter & Adoptions Description: My name is Rizzo. I am a spayed female, tricolor Siberian Husky mix. Age: The shelter staff think I am about 6 years old. More Info: I have been at the shelter since Jul 27, 2026. I am in kennel SOUTHA11. 44.0 lbs Intake Date: 7/27/2026 ⸻ Medical Notes: Rizzo is heartworm positive, a treatable condition with proper veterinary care. She has an apparent prior spay scar and has received her core vaccines, deworming, Advantage Multi, and routine preventative care while at BARC. ⸻ Behavior Notes: Rizzo is a gentle, sensitive girl who is still adjusting to the shelter environment. She approaches new situations with a semi-tense body, low tail, and cautious demeanor, but she allows staff to leash her easily and walks calmly. She occasionally freezes while walking, suggesting she's overwhelmed rather than difficult. Before arriving at the shelter, Rizzo was found peacefully roaming a petrochemical facility, where she sought out food from workers but was never reported to be aggressive.

Adoption should be a well thought out decision, it's a lifetime commitment.
