Reilly - At Shelter

Name: Reilly

Age: 10 years

Breed: Retriever/Golden mix

Sex: Female (altered)

Location: Green Bay, WI area

Vet Info: Reilly is confirmed spayed.  She is next due for her rabies and distemper vaccines on 5/15/16, and her lyme vaccine on 5/15/14.  She is heartworm negative.  Her vet's office commented on what a good dog she is and said she's very sweet!  Reilly weighs about 55 pounds.

Owner Info: DOB 7/16/03. Reilly is a beautiful and gentle girl whose owner had to move into assisted living and is no longer able to care for her.  They spoke with their local humane society who did not want to take Reilly, and so now she is living with the owner's son.  They have her listed at work and a few other places, but have not yet had any luck in finding Reilly a new home. They have had Reilly for about three years and got her when they answered an ad on Craigslist.  Her owner writes that she's blind due to retinal atrophy and cataracts and except for her sight, she is in good health. Reilly is an indoor dog with run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained.  She is good with people of all ages, both male and female dogs, and cats, and currently lives with another dog and two cats.  She is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never shown any aggression.  They write that she's very passive and easy to take care of!

Update 2/12/2014: Riley's owners had contacted a shelter several hours away from them that does not euthanize for time or space, and Riley has been able to find a spot there.  We have spoken with the shelter a few times, and they are wonderful and very caring.  Riley is not in danger of being euthanized, but of course, they'd like her out of the shelter as soon as possible so that she can go back to living in a home.  They're recommending a home without other animals or children.
