<p> RILEY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! </p> <p> Name: Riley Best Guess for Breed: Pointer mix</p> <p> </p> <p> Best Guess for Age: 4.5 years as of March 2026 SEX: Female</p> <p> </p> <p> Approximate Weight: 42 lbs</p> <p> </p> <p> <strong>Gets Along With</strong>: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! </p> <p> </p> <p> Currently Living at: DC area foster home</p> <p> </p> <p> Riley is Looking For: Her forever home! This sweet girl landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. At a bit under five years old, she's past her puppy days but is up for adventure - she's eager for sniffy walks and romps and world exploration with her humans! A cushy dog bed, quality kibble, and lots of snuggles round out her wish list. But most of all she wants to know where she belongs, that she's safe and loved.

What do you say? Do you have space in your home and your heart for Riley?</p> <p> </p> <p> What My Foster Says About Me: From her overnight foster: 'Riley was such a lovely houseguest on Saturday night! I would describe her as 'cautiously curious'. She was happy to meet new people and dogs, but when it comes to trying new things (i.e. entering new rooms or sniffing things outside), she prefers to dip her toes in slowly. She was kind to every person we have met so far, and loves attention. I don't have a dog of my own, but she did great with 1-on-1 meetings with dogs of all sizes, including a sassy Frenchie. She has a great family dog energy - she has energy for walks and playtime, but is very happy to watch TV on the couch (as long as it includes head scratches!). She was a little tentative to go into the crate, but once she's in, she is very well behaved. Also, she had no accidents in my house! She is a sweet, happy girl, and anyone would be lucky to have her!'</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Heartworm information: </strong> Riley is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. Riley has completed this exercise restriction period.</p> <p> </p> <p> Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. </p> <p>
