Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi there! My name is Reilly. You can probably tell from my photos that I am most likely some sort of Husky mix. My friends think that I might be part German Shepherd, too. It's really hard to say for sure, though. Before coming to CageFree, I was at a local high-kill shelter where I came in as a stray. Unfortunately, nobody really knows exactly where I came from or who my parents were.
Let me tell you what we do know. I am about a year old and I weigh 47 pounds. If you're looking for a medium sized dog, I'm definitely your girl! In addition to my perfect size, I also have a great personality. I'm one of the staff favorites and for good reason. I am a super, duper sweet girl! I get along with everybody I meet - people and dogs alike! You would be hard-pressed to find a dog more personable than me. You just can't be upset when I am around.
I am already micro-chipped, up-to-date on my vaccines, and spayed. I'm basically ready to start my new life!
One day, I found myself at a local high-kill shelter unable to walk or use my back legs. The staff at the shelter had to sedate and X-ray me in order to figure out what was going on. After looking at the results, they realized that I had fractured my pelvis. I also had a wound on the inner side of my left leg that needed to be sutured. It's impossible to say for sure what happened to me, but it's likely that I was hit by a car while I was out roaming the streets. I was in pretty bad shape, but I'm lucky. I know that things could have turned out much worse for me.
I spent over a month at the shelter in isolation. The staff needed me to stay calm while my bones healed, so I wasn't allowed to go out and play in the yard or do anything that would require me to move much. Thankfully, I didn't really have any desire to move anyway, since it hurt so much to just simply stand.
Once CageFree pulled me from the shelter, I was sent to see their private vet. It had been several weeks since my last X-ray was taken so they decided I needed an updated one. The good news is, my pelvis is completely healed! I'm now able to run and jump to my heart's content! I just can't wait to get out into the world and play, play, play! I'm sure I would love to go on hikes with you, or if you're a runner, I'd love to join you! Being a young and active pup, I sure could use the exercise.
If I am being honest, I could use some lessons on how to walk nicely on a leash, but what dog doesn't? I've been cooped up for months, so can you blame me?
I'm always happy and my tail never stops wagging. I'm really the sweetest, most joyful dog ever!
Bottom line is, if you are an active family with secure housing (so I don't get myself into trouble again), and you're willing to love me forever and ever, then you really need to contact CageFree and tell them you want to meet me. You will not be disappointed!
