Riley
is an 8-year-old, black and tan female Doberman with natural ears
and a docked tail. She’s average size for a female weighing
65 lbs. Riley was dumped in the shelter when her former owner
lost his job and had to move in with a family member. The family
remember refused to have her in the home and made him get rid
of her. Riley is a sweetheart with a smile that melts even the
coldest hearts. She is goofy, playful, and loving. She's had an
injury to one of her back legs when she was younger, and it never
healed correctly. While it doesn’t slow her down much, it
can cause her some pain and discomfort and she’ll take a
bit more time to do things like potty, lay down and get up. She
can also be a bit defensive over being touched around the area,
so no homes with small kids will be considered. She has also become
possessive over toys with her foster siblings, so no other dogs.
She seems to have a prey drive, so no cats either. Riley just
needs a calm, cuddly home as an only pet with no kids. Snuggling
is her favorite past time and she will come up and put her chin
on your leg to get petted. This usually leads to her climbing
into your lap, but sometimes she gets stuck because of her rear
leg and needs help. Because she can be defensive over her leg,
the best way to help her up is to pick your knee up after she
gets her body on your knee, which helps her enough to make it
all the way. If you try and help her another way she may growl
defensively. She will stay in your lap and change position several
times until she wants to get down. Riley is well behaved, potty
trained, and crate trained. She knows how to sit and lay down
but laying down does take some effort because of her leg. While
she’s not destructive, she is a barker, so no apartments.
She’s alert and will make sure you know everything and anything
that is going on outside.
Special
Needs if any: Riley’s leg does not require any medication
or future vet care, but it is recommended you give her Dasuquin
to help with her bones. This can be purchased at just about any
pet store.
Geographic
areas: Georgia and surrounding states and will adopt outside
that area if a home visit can be arranged and the people are willing
to travel to meet the Dobe in their foster home
