Personality:
Hi everyone! I am Riley and I am a healthy, adorable, sweet and cuddly love bug! I love people, love your attention, love your petting and fussing and kisses, love snuggling, and I will give you all the kisses in return that you can stand!
I’m very playful but have no problem cuddling on the couch watching movies too! I like to go for walks and car rides, and I love to visit the people at Petsmart, Lowes and Tractor Supply! I would love to have a yard that’s fenced in so I can explore. I enjoy playing with stuffed animals and really enjoy fetch with tennis balls (especially the balls with the squeakers in them)! I love when we have company over, I find people fascinating and wonderful, though mom says I need a little work on “personal space” because I just want to kiss everyone!
I’m a smart little guy. I know the following commands (though you might have to give me a refresher course complete with lots of treats): Sit, Stay, Come, House, Wait, Down, Up! That’s pretty good for only being 2 years old, right?
My hair can get very long and my mom says I need consistent grooming. Truth be told, I hate being groomed, and I “work it” by giving her the saddest face I can make! If you’ve seen my big brown eyes you’d understand exactly what I’m talking about. I’ll give you a tip though…if you groom me in small doses, and give me treats while I am being groomed, it’s not so bad! Or you can take me to a groomer and let the pros do their magic!
My mom has me on a grain free diet which she says is best for me. She also gives me raw marrow bones as a special treat which I love and is very good for my teeth! I don’t like to go outside when it’s raining and cold, so I would be happy if we kept our walks short on those days, and if you put a nice jacket on me to keep me warm!
Cohabitation/Reason I am looking for a new home
So why is a super awesome young boy like me looking for a new home? Well…I’m currently in a home with 4 other dogs…one is a small female and she and I get along well. The other 3 are large males, and I do not like them! It seems that I can’t tolerate sharing a house with another male. I really need to be the boss, and that’s a dangerous situation. Before there is any tragedy, and in order to let the other dogs have a better quality of life (i.e., not have me growling and snarking at them all the time), we all decided to find me a great new home where I can either be the only dog, or share the house with another small female. When I visit my “grandma’s house”, there are 2 small female dogs there and we do just fine!
I love cats and enjoy cuddling with them!
I seem to love all people! I am good with kids over 6!
Ideal Home:
Mom says I would do best with someone who is around a lot because I’m used to my mom being home all the time. I need someone who can spend lots of time with me and take me for walks, playtime, and hair cuts! I also love children, especially little girls (ages 6 and up) who want to fuss with me!! I’m not yet neutered, so if you decide to adopt me, you will need to have me neutered first thing!
