8/25/25 – Please welcome Rylie! Rylie was picked up as a stray and turned over to us by the shelter. She is very timid right now and just wants to be carried around. She is underweight, has ear infections, untreated dry eye, a skin infection and an upper respiratory infection. Once she is feeling a little better we will move forward with surgery.
9/11/25 – Rylie had surgery today and all went well! She was spayed, had her palate shortened, her nares widened, her teeth cleaned and entropion on one lower eye lid. She appears to be “bull-legged” on her front legs but was either born that way or had some trauma at some point in her life. She seems to manage ok getting around the house and yard, but we have not seen her on steps so we do not know how she would manage those. Her eye are little cloudy from the years of untreated dry eye.
9/29/25 – Rylie had her follow up appt today and all went well. Her ear infections are gone and she skin looks great. She is officially cleared for adoption.
approximate age: 7

likes cats: she does not mind the one in her foster home
likes kids: she spent a week with two kids ages 3 and 4 and did well with them
food: Taste of the wild, Pacific Stream
lifelong medications: prescription eye drops for dry eye, joint supplements
Likes? Hang out outside with her foster mom, sleeping, food, playing just a little bit, rubs and scratches.
Dislikes? coming back inside the house after hanging outside with her foster mom
What would be the ideal home for this dog? She would fit in just about any laid back home that does have a lot of steps, one with an outdoor space for lounging with her people, young loud kids might be too much for her but older ones would be good, dogs or cats in the house would be ok too, she would love a home where she can get a lot of love and attention
