Meet Reba: Your Future Furry Best Friend!

Looking for a furry companion who will steal your heart?  Meet Reba!  This playful, affectionate Rhodesian Ridgeback mix has a heart full of love and just the right amount of energy to brighten any home. At 3 years young, she’s a perfect combination of cuddles, fun, and loyalty, and she’s ready to find a family who will adore her as much as her shelter friends do.
 

Read on to hear Reba tell you all about herself — from her favorite toys to her love of belly rubs, and how she might just become the Hallmark-movie-star dog of your dreams!

  Hi there! I’m Reba — a sweet, affectionate, playful Rhodesian Ridgeback mix with beauty and manners. At 3 years young and 66 lbs., I’m a perfect blend of unconditional love, quiet dignity and pure devotion.

  Psssst…word around the shelter is that I’m everyone’s favorite girl… and I’d love to be yours too, if you’ll only let me.

  When we first meet, I might play it cool, casually strolling off to seek comfort from one of my familiar, trusted volunteer friends. But spend some quality time with me, toss in some tasty treats and a bit of baby-talk, and voilà — you'll unlock my inner Hallmark movie star in no time.

  I LOVE to give and receive affection, cuddling with my favorite hoomans and kissing them to my heart’s content. My volunteer buddies joke that I turn into their personal weighted blanket, leaning against their legs and giving them puppy eyes to score some belly rubs and back scratches.

  Some of my favorite things to do include playing in the yard, entertaining myself with squeaky toys, tossing them into the air, and bounding after them with all the energy I’ve got!

  I also enjoy running along the fence and playing with my doggo friends in the neighboring yards. If you have a doggo at home, please do bring them along for an on-leash, supervised meet-and-greet — who knows, we just might be future besties!

  I’m a smart cookie too! I know how to “Sit” and go “Down” when you ask me to (or when I catch a whiff of a treat coming my way ), and I walk nicely right by your side on a leash. I’m very treat-motivated and would love to learn new tricks, taking every treat gently right from your hand.

  I can be a little shy and am still learning to handle new situations confidently. So, I’d prefer a calm, patient home without small children — a place where I can feel safe, build trust, and slowly let my affectionate, playful self shine. In return, I'll offer you my sweet, steady companionship — whether we're cuddled up for a Netflix binge or off on a little adventure.

If you think you might be Reba’s perfect match, don’t wait! Stop by the East County Animal Shelter to meet her and see for yourself why everyone falls in love with this sweet, playful pup.
