Foster Home Feedback 

2/17/2025 Foster Feedback: Quick update on Rigatoni! He is officially 86 lbs! Woohoo! He had roughly 16 more pounds to go to reach his goal! Rigatoni is just a rockstar at the slow feeder, which has really helped him enjoy his food. His “soft mouth” is steadily improving.  If you need to meet this cutie, he attends many adoption events!

9/27/24 Foster Feedback: Rigatoni has been doing great on his weight loss journey. We know he is under 100 lbs. He is such a happy tail-wagger that it was hard to get him to sit for long on the scale, but when he did, we only saw two numbers!

Rigatoni recently had a birthday, turning 7 years old! On his most recent outing he walked down the runway at the Blu Water Creek Bash. He did an excellent job and enjoyed receiving loads of attention from the models!

 Rigatoni hasn’t shown any resource guarding incidents lately. He does really well with redirection.  He is still is a cuddle bug and couch potato! 

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.
