My story

Meet Ryley! This sweet boy can be a little shy at first, but once he’s comfortable, he’s all wiggles. Friendly, bubbly and full of personality, Ryley loves attention and play. In fact this boy, would absolutely thrive with a patient family who will let him take his time to settle in. He’s the kind of pup who will melt your heart with his soulful eyes and warm up to become your little sidekick in no time. If you’re looking for a loving companion who’s equal parts shy and sweet, Ryley is ready to find his forever home, and a family who will adore him for exactly who he is.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:91 lbs, but he is looking to reach a lower, healthier weight gradually with his new family. HOME TYPE:House or Townhouse- Ryley can be shy and nervous and because of this wouldn`t do well in large and busy apartment buildings. CHILDREN:Yes- Older children potentially compatible.
