Riley

Labrador Retriever

It is time for Riley to be adopted! Her paw (which had a nail in it) is all totally healed no more limping. She is housebroken and no accidents in the house even when her fosters leave her for hours alone. She has learned to sit and walks well on a leash. She knows how to use a doggie door. She loves to run when not leashed. A fenced yard is a necessity. A home with another dog would be good since she likes to play so much. Kids would be wonderful for her cause she always wants attention. Very loving and wants to be with you all the time. She is very smart and food motivated. Riley has had all her shots and is on heartworm preventative. She has a microchip. She is also spayed and has a scar. Riley does not ride well in a car. Backstory: Riley, and adult female black lab with a white chest, was a farm stray out in Decatur. She then hurt her paw stepping on a nail. That's when the granddaughter of the farm owner reached out for help. Riley came into care 8/19/2023. She is sweet and timid. But if you sit with her, she lays down next to you and asks for quiet affection. She is not loud but is a little anxious in a kennel environment (low whining). This isn't uncommon when there are 20 new dogs barking at you. Prior caretaker reports that she was let into the house and has good manners, is good with other dogs, and ignores cats. She appears potty trained and asks to go out when she needs to go. She was vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and dewormed on intake.
