Beautiful Rita in need of a new home 💔

Private seller

Rita was a rescue dog from tenant creek and has been a beloved part of our family for 5 years. Unfortunately, she has not transitioned into our two young boys (two and four) becoming more boisterous in recent years. She has never bitten or struck out at our boys but as the time goes on she is clearly not comfortable around children and therefore we need to rehome her. I would not be comfortable with her going to a family with children, I believe she needs to go to a child free home. She gets along well with our other dog, Bruce, but has shown aggression to other younger dogs. This is not a decision we have made quickly or easily, it breaks my heart to see her go but this decision is being made for the safety of my children. She has shown anxious and skittish behaviour when the kids are eating or running near her. I repeat she has never bitten them. She walks on the lead fine but needs comforting when other dogs walk by. Sometimes even just getting ger to sit while the other dog walks past helps calm her down.
When we got her (a few months old) she was very hesitant to any males but has since warmed up and we have not seen any concerning behaviours to men for two years.
She used to be an inside/outside dog and slept under our blanket however is now an outside dog. We are in a rental so cannot have dogs inside. Rita loves food and happy to eat kibble bit won't say no to meat scraps.
She doesn't get smelly so we get her washed once every four months but she does lose fur without washes.
She doesn't dig or chew.
She will stand over your foot and wait for belly scratches and stand there as long as you will scratch her.
We think she is a cattle dog cross jack Russel but being a rescue we can't be sure.
Please reach out if you are looking for a pretty, loving dog and think you can be a good fit for our darling girl. She has gone by the name Rita for 5 years so if you would like to continue that for her it would be lovely.
