Riley is a gentle soul and loves to go on walks and to spend time with you. He is the perfect combination of being active and adventurous and yet also loves to curl up and relax at the end of the day. Plus, he's a handsome showstopper with soft luscious locks that appear to be low shedding. Riley loves people and gentle touches and kindness and is affection motivated. While he won't smother you in over-the-top displays of affection, he bonds deeply to his person, is excited and happy to see you with an enthusiastically wagging tail, gives cute snuffles and licks and lays his paws and head on your lap when you're sitting together. Moreso though, playing games of chase is his "love language - he'll play-bow to his person and want to run around with you in the grass.
He is confident when taking adventures, including walks through city life. For example, he's content walking through crowds of people and doesn't get overwhelmed. He wants to have playful romps with almost every dog he meets (play bows a lot) and just walks away from aggressive dogs that bark at him. He can be taken many places due to his exceptionally calm and gentle demeanor in public. He is good in elevators, on stairs, in cars, by roads with heavy traffic, etc. He is leash trained; he can tug or get stubborn occasionally because he wants to go exploring but can be redirected, and this would improve with consistent obedience training. He doesn't like spending too much time alone and would be a good fit for active outdoorsy people looking for a constant companion who can provide at least 2 hours of exercise per day. He would also likely benefit greatly from a playful and athletic doggy sibling he can romp around with. He is pretty good in his crate and tolerates it overnight, up to 9 hours. But further crate training would help, as he barks to get out in the morning.
Riley will need a patient and experienced dog owner to help him flourish. He is still working on his housetraining; while he is getting better, he will need an adopter who will creatively work with him, beyond the typical dog. Specifically, he appears to stress-pee inside bathrooms and kitchens but will hold his pee outside for many hours! This behavior is non-typical and appears somewhat ingrained as of now. Luckily, he is a very sweet boy who is VERY treat motivated and smart, smart, SMART. He already knows the sit command, which he mastered in about 2 minutes! With consistent, patient, and kind guidance, he will certainly grow the skills he needs to be the perfect pup.

More about this rescue
The Milo Foundation is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization providing an alternative for homeless pets throughout California, through education, adoption services, and providing sanctuary for animals until permanent homes can be found.
Founded in August of 1994, The Milo Foundation Sanctuary is located on two hundred and eighty-three acres in Mendocino County - offering lots of room for the animals to run and play. The Milo Sanctuary animals typically (but not exclusively) are harder to adopt animals and those needing more rural type homes, such as dogs with social or behavioural challenges, feral cats, horses and other farm animals. The Milo Point Richmond Adoption Center is where the majority of our new rescue intake takes place, typically friendly, adoptable cats and dogs, puppies and kittens rescued from shelters where they were facing euthanasia. The Sanctuary is where highly active or reactive dogs can go and have plenty of space, other canine companions (if they are dog friendly) and live in a stress free environment until such time as the right adoption match can be found.
The Milo Sanctuary is what enables Milo to be a No-Kill organization. Milo brings dogs back and forth from the Adoption Center (MPR) to the Sanctuary to give dogs a break from the stresses of the kennel environment and back to MPR later to try again at being adopted. Potential adopters also do come up to the Sanctuary to adopt, by appointment.
