Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rylee!
Have you ever wanted a perfect little snuggle bug in your life? A shadow if you will. Well, my name is Rylee, and I am here to make those dreams come true! I'm a senior guy and just 11 tiny pounds. Perfect for sitting in my new human's lap for a good afternoon snooze under the afghan. You don't want me to sit on your lap? That's okay, too, just as long as I can sit next to you on the couch so I can be close. I get along great with other dogs, but seem to be a bit fearful of the felines. Actually, I do well with chickens, too, so I could even live on a farm. Or I could do well in an apartment because I'm quieter than a mouse! I could do well with older kiddos, but since I'm a bit shy and reserved, I'm not much of the playing type, so younger kiddos aren't really my jam.
I'm a super good boy and do my pottying outside, but I can't go on long walks because my hip is a little painful when I do. Otherwise, I have minimal pain. I take some medicines (like a champ, I might add) for the non-convulsive seizures I have. What does that mean? Basically, I just stare off into space for a bit. Nothing super scary, and they are very much controlled with my meds! I'd really like for my new forever family to be home more often than not. Like, someone who is retired or works from home, so I can always be near them and shower them with my warmth and love! We could go out in the yard and sniff together for a while, too! I can't wait to do all the things with my new people. Hopefully it's with you!
