Riley Shar-Pei Mix Albany, NY

RILEY - Bone Mouth Shar Pei/Pit Bull mix, male, ~1 year, 50 lbs. Riley is a happy and friendly boy who loves people, especially his family. He has had to overcome a lot after being picked up as an injured stray with two broken femurs. After months of therapy and support he still exemplifies wonderful characteristics for any breed - he is smart, loyal, loving and playful. He has been raised around other animals including a cat and a dog, and has had a lot of socialization and been exposed to many new experiences. He loves long walks, playing toss, and learning new commands - in just a couple months he’s learned sit, down, stay, with me, off, wait, up, leave it, track it, and ok. Riley is currently enrolled in training and hopes to complete his Canine Good Citizen certification from the AKC soon. Riley lives in a home with a cat and a toddler, and does great with all. He is playful and wants to be part of any family activity--he will always be by your side, a true protector. He is crate trained and housebroken. Riley is also a huge snuggler and loves belly rubs! He is very food motivated and will thrive with an active person or family who is willing to continue with training. In return you will have an eternally committed, loving, and intelligent best friend.
