Rioja has had quite the amazing glow up! From arriving as a scared mom with 8 puppies, to struggling to walk, this girl has come a long way. Now Rioja will take treats from us, walks on leash, and is even working on learning sit. She does well with other dogs and is definitely open to a doggie sibling! The shelter is a hard place for her to blossom and she'd love a patient home to thrive in.

If that sounds like you, please come visit at the shelter or email animal.care@ventura.org with “Rioja A868837“ as the subject line. Rescue groups can inquire by reaching out to vcar.rescue@ventura.org.
