Rylee's Story
Rylee is a cuddly, loving 8 week old terrier mix that weighs 12 pounds. She is estimated to be around 75 pounds once she is full grown. She is an affectionate pup that looks for every chance to shower her humans with love and puppy kisses. One of her favorite things to do is sit in her human's lap and just gaze in awe while she waits patiently for her chest rubs or ear scratches. She is the special one out of her litter as she has very limited hearing and is almost fully deaf. Despite her being deaf, she has a big personality and is just the sweetest, most lovable girl that doesn't let her disability get in her way of being a shining star. She is very observant and smart, and loves to watch everything go on around her as she sits back and takes it all in. Rylee is low to medium energy, so she is mellow with short spurts of puppy energy. She loves to play with her toys, and one of her favorites is a flirt pole that she can follow with her eyes and chase around. She also loves to have many stuffed toys to choose from and enjoys a good game of play tug of war. She would thrive with daily playtime in the yard or adventures/outings with her family. She is very curious, and she loves to follow her foster mom around to explore new surroundings. She would be a great fit for a fun, adventurous family that enjoys the outdoors. Rylee is dog, cat and kid friendly. She loves everyone she meets, and would love to have some human kids in her forever home to cuddle and play with. Her sweet, gentle nature makes her perfect for kids of any age. She loves to play with her siblings and the resident dogs in her foster home, and gets along with dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities. She enjoys following the older dogs around to see what they're up to and is learning so much from them every day. She also has some kitties in her foster home and loves to play with the dog-friendly one. She is very treat motivated and very smart. She gets excited for treats and would do well with consistent training so she can learn more hand signs as she gets older. She is easily redirected with pointing and knows a few hand signs already. Rylee is kennel and playpen trained, and has done well with transitioning outside for potty training. She knows how to use a potty pad, and will need additional help perfecting her outside potty training in her forever home. She just started her leash training and will need more practice as she continues to grow. Her ideal home environment would be a house with a fenced in backyard that she can run around and play in. She would not do well in an apartment, townhouse or condo unless there is a private backyard for her to use. If you are interested in adopting Rylee, please fill out an application at: https://www.loveandpuppypawsdogrescue.com/adoption-application. Rylee is in a foster home in South Texas and will be transported once adopted. She will have a $200 refundable spay deposit added onto her adoption and transport fees because she is too young to be spayed. She cannot be adopted into Canada at this time because of her age. TRANSPORT: Currently we have monthly transports. It will be up to the adoptive family to meet the transport to pick up your new family member. Please be advised that our dogs are adopted to their forever families prior to being transported. Unfortunately at this time, we cannot bring dogs for a typical meet and greet situation, due to the extensiveness of the transport distance and it being unfair for the dogs who are not adopted to have to make the trip back. Please be advised that applications are reviewed in the order that they are received. To ensure we are honoring the dogs that we have committed to helping, we do have policies and procedures in place that we follow when reviewing adoption applications. LAPP Dog Rescue is ran 100% by volunteers, so please be mindful that when you submit an application that it can take a few days to be reviewed. Submitting an application is not a confirmation that the adoption will be approved/completed. Before submitting the application, please read the FULL description on PetFinder describing the dog's personality, energy level, housing requirements and our policy on meet and greets. The total cost to adopt is $830, which includes a $300 adoption fee, a $230 transport fee, and a $200 REFUNDABLE spay deposit. The adoption fee includes all age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormer, and health certificate from a licensed veterinarian.
