My story

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

The Life of Riley was an American radio comedy series in the 1940s that was adapted into a movie and two different TV shows. If there were to be a movie or TV show about the life of our Riley, she hopes that it would center around her days in a loving home rather than the shelter. That’s where you come in!

Riley spent five months in a great foster home- here’s what we learned:

- Riley did great with young kids! She loved them, loved to play with them, and knew not to jump on them (though she would sometimes knock the baby over with her wiggly boxer rear end).
- She is energetic and thrives with regular exercise.
- She is housebroken and crate trained
- She is cuddly and friendly
- She’ll thrive in an active home where she gets lots of attention and love

Riley also did great on a field trip away from the shelter and was described as loving, gentle and playful:

“Riley is the greatest! She was so excited about everything and great on leash. She completely ignored all other dogs. She loved treats, cheese and pup cups. She loved riding in the car and wanted to climb in the front seat and the very back. She loves snuggles and pets. She seemed social and wanted to say `hi` to people we saw.”

Riley shares her kennel with another PACC pup and has been playful and social when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Ask to meet Riley today!
