In 2018, San Bernardino City Shelter put out an urgent plea for three underaged, malnourished puppies who had been dropped off in a bucket reeking of gasoline. All had chemical burns, but little Harry—now Riley—suffered the most. He spent nights in an oxygen tank at the emergency vet, fought through a seizure, and miraculously survived. Adopted at just 4 months old, Riley grew into an affectionate, playful bundle of energy. Now, six years later, tragedy has struck his family, and this sweet boy is once again searching for a forever home.
