Ryleigh is a gentle soul with a heart full of love—she’s just a little unsure about the world right now. This affectionate girl is a “work in progress,” but one with beautiful potential. She’s house trained, has good manners, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats. What holds her back is her extreme shyness—she often retreats to her crate or hides under the bed when overwhelmed. But with time, patience, and love, Ryleigh could become the most rewarding companion you’ve ever had.
Why She’s the Ultimate Gentle Lovebug
🐾 Sweet, affectionate, and eager to bond with the right person
🐶 Dog- and cat-friendly—gets along well with other animals
🏡 House trained with good home manners
🛏️ Crate is her safe space when she’s nervous

What She’s Looking For

✔️ A family willing to give her the time she needs to feel safe
✔️ Possibly another friendly, confident dog to help guide her
Ryleigh may hide at first—but behind those timid eyes is a dog longing to trust, love, and belong. If you’re the kind of person who believes in second chances and sees beauty in quiet resilience, Ryleigh could be the perfect companion for you.
Come meet her and see how your love could change her life.
