My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Poor Riggs was found outside a veterinarian's office, with the saddest expression. His forlorn eyes told a story of abandonment. At that moment, we promised him a better life ahead. We took him in under our rescue and showered him with much needed TLC. Riggs likes to be near people. He's very sweet, and loves attention. He's very responsive to his caregivers and expressive through his endless tail wags. While on leash, he repeatedly looks up and gives a nose tap to his caregiver as if to check in. He greeted the cat we introduced him to appropriately with some curiosity but not overly so. We feel Riggs would be a fantastic hiking/running/exploring buddy. He would blossom best as the only dog in the home at this time with introductions to other dogs made slowly. Riggs is a love bug who promises endless love and devotion to his people and many, many snuggles.

Riggs is neutered, up to date with vaccinations and micro-chipped. He is estimated to be around 1 - 2 years old and weighs around 70 lbs.

Please note we are always in need of foster homes for our dogs. If interested in making a difference in a dog's life we would love to share with you what it means to be a foster parent.
