| RILEY Riley is a purebred male Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. His estimated DOB is 6/08 Some info on Riley: The current caretakers cannot do the work that this animal needs. The owners kept it in a bathroom for months. When the caretakers first got it, I agreed to groom it since I do my own dog grooming. This animal had fecal matter stuck in fur up to its' armpits; urine burns on its' back and stomach; mats the size of golf balls that prohibited free leg movement; a matted mouth so that it couldn't eat properly; underweight by about 10-15 pounds (the hip bones clearly visible as well as spine) at least; an infected eye; heavy wax build up in its' ears - and the list goes on. Suffice it to say - this dog needed a lot ofwork. What I know: the dog has no socialization whatsoever; is an extreme flight risk; high level of fear; not aggressive with either food or my dogs. He is good with children (caretaker has three boys) but due to lack of socialization - doesn't interact. Having spent months in isolation - he doesn't know how to act. The caretakers have worked with the owners to get them to agree to relinquish the dog. I have agreed to help since they have never had such a situation like this and they trust me. Riley has now been officially signed over to the Rescue and is ready for a forever home. Homes interested in Riley should read our information page on puppymill scarred dogs by clicking HERE. Riley will need a calm, quiet home where he can be socialized and learn that people are not all scary and bad. Riley is neutered and up to date on shots prior to adoption. APRIL 2009 - A FOREVER HOME Riley has been adopted by the Morrissey Family of Connecticut where he joins Erin who was adoption #461! CONGRATULATIONS! |
