Meet Ryleigh II
7/9/2024 Ryleigh II is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Ryleigh II! I am a beautiful 8 year old white girl that is an owner surrender after being rescued from an abusive home and the resident dogs in my current home and I are not getting along. I am described as protective and nervous. I can be dog friend selective and not get along with them, so being the only dog in the home may be best for me. I currently live with a 15 year old kid and do well with him. If I see a cat outside I do not bother them, but if it is in the house, I will chase them. I am timid when first meeting someone but will open up after a bit. I am house trained but will need assistance with crate training manners if that is required in my forever home. I have slept outside in my past life but now sleep inside and do fine. If the humans must be away and I am left alone, I react fine. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig. I am fearful of thunder and fireworks but love riding in the car on adventures! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

Is Ryleigh II still available for adoption?
Ryleigh II's listing is refreshed regularly, but availability can change quickly as dogs are adopted. Always confirm Ryleigh II is still available directly with Austin Boxer Rescue before making plans.
Is Ryleigh II a senior dog?
Yes. Every dog listed on Lily's Second Chance, including Ryleigh II, is a senior — generally age 7 or older. Senior dogs are often already house-trained and calm, and they wait the longest for a home.
Can I foster Ryleigh II instead of adopting?
Some shelters and rescues offer a foster-to-adopt path — you foster first, then complete the adoption if the match feels right. Check Ryleigh II's profile for the organization's contact details and ask them directly whether a fostering option is available.
What should I expect in the first weeks after adopting Ryleigh II?
Senior dogs typically have a brief adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as they settle into a new home. They may be quiet or shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to sleep, and patience usually make the transition smooth. Most senior dogs settle in faster than puppies because they are already past the demanding early stage.
Is Ryleigh II good with children or other pets?
Compatibility depends on the individual dog's history and personality more than age or breed alone. Austin Boxer Rescue can tell you about Ryleigh II's known behavior around children, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer a meet-and-greet before finalizing an adoption to make sure the match is right for everyone.
