Rita 

For three and a half long years, sweet Rita waited — patiently, hopefully, and always with love in her eyes. She watched many of her friends leave Hopeland for their forever homes, and though her tail wagged for each of them, deep down she kept dreaming of the day it would be her turn.

That day finally came. After years of cuddles with volunteers, walks under the Greek sun, and gentle moments of waiting, a family saw her — truly saw her — for the wonderful soul she is. They knew she belonged with them.

Now, Rita is home. She has her own bed, her own family, and endless arms to snuggle into. Every day begins with love and ends with peace — exactly the life she always deserved.

Her story is a reminder that sometimes, the best things simply take a little longer. Rita’s wait is over — and her heart is finally home.
