Riley is a happy young guy who is ready to meet you and your family, (including pets!), and take on whatever adventure you have planned. He is a gentle soul who loves pets and belly rubs, and staying close to his humans. This social boy is great meeting new people, and loves every person and every dog and cat with whom he is introduced. He is leash-trained and crate-trained, doesn’t dig, and loves butcher bones for a good chew. He is a confident pup who does great in the car and while being brushed (he LOVES being brushed!). Riley was found as a stray and can be protective of his food, so he should be fed apart from other dogs until he learns that meals will never be in short supply again. He’s a good listener and is learning basic commands. Riley would love a family with or without other dogs, or perhaps someone who works from home, with people who are willing to take him on 1-3 mile walks every day. He is expected to top out at 65 pounds, so he’s a smaller Pyr with all of the same qualities! -Written by M.M.

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
