Rita Is Warren's Pet Of The Week

WARREN, NJ — Meet Rita! She has been chosen as Warren Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Rita has been living on Mitchell Avenue since 2015. For seven years prior she worked for the US Air Force in Baghdad searching vehicles in the Green Zone at the US Embassy.

She is a pure bred German Shepherd who was born and trained in Slovakia. She is now living her retirement years in Warren. She still understands commands in Arabic to search vehicles and loves to have a hard red ball in her mouth as a reward. She is a super well behaved, even tempered dog who is a great companion."

— The Ohlson Family, Warren
