About RYE GS

Rye is a sweet 16-month-old girl who had a rough start in life and was saved from a high-kill shelter. She was initially fearful and unsure of the world, but thanks to her foster home and the companionship of other dogs, she's learning that people can be kind. Rye is a shy girl who takes time to trust and prefers to approach affection on her own terms. Once she feels safe, she forms a quiet, loyal bond that is incredibly special. She has so much love to give and deserves a patient and understanding human.

Ideal Home

Rye would thrive in a home with another friendly dog to help her build confidence. She can also do well with children who understand the importance of giving her space and allowing her to approach them at her own pace.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns are noted in her description.

Training & Support

Rye is still a nervous girl and needs patience to feel safe and trust. It's important to allow her to warm up to you on her own terms.
