Meet Rye, a vivacious sweetheart on a quest for her forever home! 🏡 This gal is ready to shine as the *only* animal because she craves all the love and attention her humans can provide! Now, let’s dive into Rye's delightful backstory! She traveled all the way from a Texas shelter to the DMV region back in 2020, just a tiny little bundle who fit snugly in the palm of a hand. Adopted in a flash, she was mistakenly labeled as a chihuahua mix! But when her family saw that she’d grown, in their eyes, she became too big for comfort. Can you imagine? A mere 40 lbs – that’s like a feather in the world of loveable pooches! 🐶 Rye’s journey was quite the rollercoaster. After being switched from one foster home to another during a tumultuous time, the previous rescue contemplated the unthinkable—euthanasia! But meet the hero of Rye's story: her newfound mom, who couldn’t let that happen. With a name inspired by her favorite *whiskey*, Rye became a part of Laila's Legacy. Together, they started working on training to prepare her for her forever family, and let me tell you, this girl is *smart*—one quick study, folks! 📚 In her home, Rye brings the fun with her goofy personality! She's a bundle of energy, always exploring her surroundings. Whether it’s people-watching from the stoop or practicing her favorite tricks, this darling loves to stay engaged. But don’t be fooled—her brains need stimulation too! Whether it’s long walks, playing tug-of-war, or engagement in puzzle games, Rye’s ready to be the best companion you’ve ever had! 🎾 Now, I gotta share something special: Rye has been through some challenges. She experienced mini-seizures that caused some crate issues, but fear not! With her daily routine of peanut butter-infused meds (because who doesn't love peanut butter?), they have greatly improved. She is a resilient spirit who just needs a little extra love! 🍯❤️ Rye thrives on human companionship and would do best in a home without other pets. Trust me, if you’re looking for a devoted friend to share your life with—this is your gal! She’s also been muzzle trained, rocking a bright pink muzzle like a true superstar! 🌟 So, are there any compassionate souls out there ready to scoop up this precious pup and give her the royal treatment she deserves? Let’s make Rye the diva she was always meant to be! Don’t wait! *Apply to adopt Rye through the Buddy App today!* Let her spoil you with all the love and laughter only a dog can bring! 🐾
