Riley came to us from the Flower Mound Animal Center. He had been surrendered to the shelter because his owner was in poor health. Riley is a 9-year-old sheltie that has been neglected. It appears he has thyroid issues, a dry brittle coat, is overweight, and that telltale yeasty smell. He has worn marks on his back from a too-tight harness. Riley is very sweet and mellow. More info after his visit to the vet office.

UPDATE: Riley is hypothyroid and overweight. The thyroid issue only requires inexpensive meds once a day along with a healthy diet and exercise…all of this will help him to become trim and slim. Oh, and he is heartworm-negative and scheduled for neuter and dental at the end of August.

UPDATE 2:  Riley is now getting down to his happy weight, he has a pretty white smile, he’s neutered and his coat is growing in and looking great.
