🐾 Meet Ria — the Little Red Heeler Who’s Ready to Sneak Her Way Into Your Heart! ❤️

• 🐶 Ria is 7 months old and already an absolute sweetheart! This 23-pound Red Heeler arrived at GLDR with her siblings, Gabriel and Nico, and now this darling girl is ready to find a family of her very own.

• 🥰 Ria is a submissive little lovebug who would happily spend her day soaking up attention, getting belly rubs, and staying close to her favorite people. Once she’s by your side, she may never want to leave!

• 🧸 Got toys? Ria is coming! This curious, fun-loving girl has discovered the rescue’s toy bin and is more than happy to help herself to the goodies inside. She loves exploring and checking out whatever fun might be waiting around the corner.

• 🍖 Ria is gentle in every way. She’s tolerant of handling, takes treats very politely, and has good recall — a pretty impressive skill for a young pup!

• 👀 She’s curious, playful, and ready for adventure, so Ria’s new family should be prepared for plenty of daily exercise, continued training, playtime, and opportunities to explore. A yard to enjoy would be a wonderful addition to her new home!

• 🏡 Ria would do best in an active home with adults or a family with children of any age. She’s ready to be part of the family fun and soak up all the love she can get!

• 🐕 What about a canine sibling? Ria does well with her siblings and may be able to live with other dogs. GLDR would be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with your resident pup to see if these two could become best friends.

• 💚 Ria is the kind of girl who doesn’t need to do much to win you over. Give her a belly rub, hand her a treat, open the toy bin, and watch that sweet personality shine. Fair warning: once you meet her, you may be completely hooked! 🥹🐾

🐾 Ready to let Ria sneak her way into your heart? Head to www.greatlakesdogrescue.com and submit an adoption application. This sweet girl is ready to find the people she can finally call her own! ❤️🏡

‼️FOSTERS NEEDED NOW‼️

😩 For weeks now we have been pleading for fosters for both Ruby & Whisper-two of our LONGEST KENNEL RESIDENTS! They are struggling in the kennel environment and desperately time away for their mental/physical well-being.

🌟 Both Ruby & Whisper are house-trained and are confident, adventurous pups who desperately need out ASAP!

☹️ Sadly, they are both deteriorating and we need some heroes to step up and help them! It’s amazing the positive difference in both of them once they are away from the stress of kennel living.

❤️ We realize people are busy and it may not be the perfect time, but Whisper & Ruby don’t need perfect! They just need someone to give them a chance to show them how good life can be outside of the kennel ❤️. PLEASE HELP THEM!!! SHARE & APPLY BELOW!

Foster application 👇 These dogs need to be fostered separately.
