Ten month old Riley is scared. TONIGHT IS HER LAST NIGHT unless YOU CAN SAVE her by Adopting, Fostering or Sponsoring her so she gets a SECOND CHANCE.

Riley's owner surrendered her just 3 days ago, explaining that she couldn't afford to keep a dog. She said that Riley was a gift and housetrained. We wonder what the "Life of Riley" was like. But she's here now, and safe. When you first take her out, she is very shy and walks with her tail tucked between her legs. Yet, she welcomes visitors at her kennel door and says she wants to go out. She is fine on the leash but at times, hides under her caretaker's legs or behind the bench where this volunteer was sitting.

I carried her - she weighs only 34 pounds!!! - massaged her, played tag with her and never did she exhibit any sign of aggression. She is quite thin, but she takes treats gently from your hands. She met other dogs and seemed to enjoy those encounters despite her fears. She's a GORGEOUS puppy with amazing copper eyes and she's just going to be a BEAUTY OF A DOG someday provided she LIVES to see that day!!

If you can commit to SAVING RILEY by Adopting/Fostering or Sponsoring... please respond back to this post immediately or call #212-533-0822 anytime BEFORE 8 AM tomorrow!!! - pls hurry as time is of the essence!!

*Pls note this dog is located in the NYC Metropolitan Area .. Transport can be arranged provided certain criteria is met* *There will be a reasonable adoption donation requested by the shelter to cover shots, spay surgery and microchip
