My story

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

My ideal home:

Riley would thrive in an adult-only home with experienced dog owners who can dedicate time to her mental and physical stimulation. She's a smart, eager learner who will benefit from structure, consistency, and lots of love. A calm environment where someone is home most of the day or has a plan for managing her anxiety will help Riley feel secure and happy. With the right guidance, she can blossom into a confident, loving companion.



Good with other pets?

Riley prefers to be the only pet in the home, as she can be reactive around other dogs. However, she has shown the ability to relax and enjoy quiet, dog-free environments. This means she'll be happiest where she can receive all the attention and love she deserves without the stress of sharing space with other animals.



Good with children?

Riley would do best in a home without children under 13 due to her high energy and reactivity. That said, in an adult environment, she is affectionate and enjoys attention, making her a great companion for those who understand her need for space and patience.



How is my health?

Riley is in good health and allowed handling during her medical intake exam. With regular physical activity and mental engagement, she is sure to stay healthy and strong!



How are my leash manners?

Riley walks well on a leash in quiet areas and can explore calmly. She needs continued training in busy environments, but with a little work, she can become a great walking companion who loves to sniff and enjoy her surroundings.



What is my behavior assessment?

Despite her initial anxiety, Riley is highly social and loves interacting with people. Her behavior determination is Level 3, meaning she will benefit from ongoing training and attention, but she has the potential to be a wonderfully affectionate and loyal pet. With the right environment, she will shine as a playful, loving dog who adores her humans!
