Meet RITA

Meet RITA! RITA was saved and cared for by Muscat Dog Adoption before being sent with other rescued dogs to Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine. They arrived in the US on 28th January 2025 and were transported to the rescue, where they are settling in. Health & Background ✅ Cleared by the US Canine Center for Diseases upon entry into the US ✅ Spayed ✅ Rabies and core vaccines up to date ✅ Heartworm and tick tested negative ✅ On monthly preventatives ✅ Microchipped ⚖️ Weighs around 33 pounds Estimated DOB: 10 March 2024 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.
