RITA’s Personality
A sweet, sensitive girl who needs a little time to relax and settle
Recently enjoyed a day out as part of our "Let’s Go for a Walk – Doggy Day Out" program
First time in a home — was initially scared but settled quickly
Took a peaceful nap on the couch and even dreamed, showing how relaxed she became
Saw cats and gave a low growl when approached but showed no aggression
Met another dog and happily shared the couch
Met a parakeet named Fred who tried to nibble her nose — took it all in stride
Did amazingly well for her first break away from the kennels and her Omani friends
Can be skittish in the kennels and new environments, especially with unfamiliar noises — as to be expected
Extremely treat motivated, which helps with training and trust-building
‍♀️ Walks well on a leash, though still a little nervous in new surroundings

What RITA Needs
A family that can provide a healthy lifestyle, both mentally and physically
Good quality food, toys, and treats
Regular veterinary wellness checks
⏳ Patience and understanding as she adjusts to life in the US

About Wadi Dogs
Stray dogs in Oman, often called “Wadi Dogs,” are a unique mix of sighthound breeds, believed to descend from the majestic Saluki and other smaller agile breeds, many resembling whippets. Without rescue, these dogs often face harsh fates such as being shot or hit by vehicles.
