About Riley

Adoption Fee: $150
American Staffordshire Terrier / Boxer
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

EXPERIENCED FOSTER (OR ADOPTER) NEEDED! Meet Riley! She came to us recently from a bad situation that ended up with her being locked in a kennel, down in a basement, with little to no outside time. She was super stressed out, lost weight, and was overall in not-so-great shape. Riley is now with an amazing foster family but they've realized that they may not be the best fit for her. Given their current schedules and experience level, it has been decided that Riley needs a new foster family if she is going to be her happiest self. Riley has an upcoming appointment at the renowned Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center: Behavioral Medicine Department. While she's there, we will receive a full behavioral analysis with a training/treatment plan to ensure her needs are met and exceeded. Riley's fosters will have complete and total support from NOARC and OSU while we figure out what works best for this cutie. Miss Riley is approximately two years old and (clearly) gorgeous. She appears to be a Boxer/Pittie mix, but that is anyone's guess! Her current foster momma says she would make an excellent running partner for someone. Riley sleeps through the night, cuddled up to her foster mom, and is house & crate trained. She's such a sweet girl who needs time to decompress and help with training. It's tough being a two year old, big pup who nobody has ever helped! What we are looking for in Riley's foster family: -patience; -willingness to follow recommendations and plan provided by OSU Behavioral Medicine; -preferably located in the central Ohio area but we can definitely be flexible; -preferably no other dogs (just so Riley can be the center of attention for a while) but again, we can definitely be flexible. Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about Riley and we would be happy to talk with you! She deserves the best and we want to make sure she gets it :) PS- you may wonder why her lip area is red. Turns out she has some seasonal allergies that we are treating with Apoquel and coconut oil. She's responding really well to both treatments. PPS- RescueMe! wasn't uploading Riley's picture correctly. She is a gorgeous gray girl with the cutest floppy ears. We are happy to send pictures upon request!
