Rylie 10-282 [1]

Rylie is a beautiful 4 year old female, 60 pound, PB. Her initial bio said she needed a quiet environment to "chill out" and believe me, she came to the right place...this household is all about peace and quiet and comfort.

When Rylie arrived, she met the two resident dogs with a wag of her tail...the Cavalier twirled in approval and the senior Golden strutted around the yard to show her the ropes. Good girls!

The next day, we had to take care of a little business. So it was off to the vet where Rylie tested negative for heartwork, lymes and anaplasmosis....then was treated with Animax for an ear infection and a swollen area inside her ear flap. Rylie's dry skin and sparse coat needed attention so we came home with an antibiotic for her skin and medicated shampoo/conditioner to make her coat full and luxurious. We'll go back next week to make sure the ear and skin issues are under control.

During the week, Rylie blossomed like a little flower. She happily joins us in our routine of morning and evening walks, visiting the park, and cuddling on the couch. She also loves the special shampoo/conditioning treatment and massage twice a week...good for her skin and wonderful for bonding :)

Right now, these are a few of the things that I know Rylie will need in her forever home:

• A fur sibling (the three dogs get along very well, but Rylie would love a young dog to play with)
• A fenced yard
• No children under 10
• Someone who would be there most of the time to give her the love and attention she missed out on in her former life

Come back to read her update and see some new pictures in a few days...
