Riley

Meet Riley! Riley is a sweet 4‑year‑old Hound mix who's been winning hearts since the moment she arrived. She came to us after an incident involving a smaller dog, but with people she has been nothing but gentle, loving, and eager to connect. Riley is one of those dogs who simply doesn't thrive in a shelter environment, and we're hoping she finds her forever home soon.When she first arrived, Riley was nervous and didn't want to come out of her room. With patience, routine, and kindness, she slowly opened up-and now she greets us each day with a wagging tail, playful energy, and the cuddliest personality you could ask for. She truly blossoms when she feels safe.Riley has been dog‑tested and did well with a calm dog her size, but she's not a match for high‑energy dogs or small animals. Because of her past, she'll need a home without cats and without children under 12.If you have room in your heart for a gentle, affectionate dog who just wants to be loved, Riley may be your perfect match. She's ready to leave the shelter behind and start her next chapter with someone who sees how special she is.Riley's adoption fee is $125, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it's important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal's true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful.
