Riley is looking for her forever home after a series of unfortunate accidences. Riley was found by animal control with some major injuries. This sweet puppy must have been hit by a car as her leg, jaw and skull were fractured. She has since had her cast removed and is ready for her forever home. Although her broken leg has healed she will most likely have a limp when she grows older. We would love to find this sweet puppy a great home!

Riley breed is really a big question. When she first came in everyone said she looked like a little rottie puppy but now that she has grown up a little we think maybe a shepherd too. Either way she is the cutest little puppy!

***According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schäferhunde, which means German Shepherd Dog in English. Known for their tremendous loyalty and courage, they are calmly confident, but not hostile. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. They only bark when it is necessary. Serious and almost human in his intelligence, they have a high learning ability. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and can alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in a pipes buried 15 feet underground. A quick daily brushing is best unless hair in the house is not a problem. They should be bathed rarely, only once or twice a year to avoid skin oil depletion. Shepherds have a life expectancy around 13 years.
