My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rilan comes from an unknown situation but one thing we do know. He was mistreated and not cared for. He was given up by a friend of the owner and he was very skinny, He had severe and deep ear dirt and infection for a lengthy time and was clearly fed the cheapest food made. He had never been vetted or groomed. His claws curled around his paws and were so close to the pads on his paws.

Luckily he fell into our care and he is the SWEETEST baby. He's well behaved, he doesn't know from toys, so he's just starting to understand what a toy is, he's a blank slate. We got him completely vetted and healthy now. He's never had a yard to play in, not familiar with leashes so hasn't been walked much. But he walks great on a leash now. He is very loving, loves to be held. He is faithful to the core and stays right by your side. Great companion doggie. He's not a fan of being in a the car and has been getting car sick in the car, so we are hoping we can turn that around. He has been groomed by our wonderful groomer, he's being vetted now and fixed, also a dental as he's never had any care for his entire life till now and he's opening up like a little flower to the affection he receives. He loves men, he's great with a dog his size and he's fine around cats. We can't understand how anyone would not care for such a sweet, loving pup who only wants to be close to a human and kissed on. Sad state of affairs people who are such tyrants can be towards an innocent pup.

He's a red chestnut color, very pretty. We are looking for a foster or a adopter in a non smoking home, in a home where someone is working from home or has a opposite schedule from the person/people they live with. He really loves to be with someone all the time and he's loving playing with a dog his size so he would be happiest in a home with a dog who wants to play with him. Someone with a fenced backyard. We will not consider a apartment or a mobile park for him.

Because he is so needy, we want him in a home with mature adults, older kids that are at least older teens. He will benefit from being the center of attention. He's fine with other calm dogs and with cats.

Just a lovely boy who is in need of a loving, caring home. For more information on Rilan call or text me at 517 294 4514 or email your phone number to marlas2468@yahoo.com
