Riff's Story

Riff has typical cattle dog tendencies. He is highly intelligent, loyal and wants to chase moving things- which is part of his herding instincts. He is energetic and active which requires physical and mental stimulation. He loves a good sniffing game with food or treats. He is also sweet, snuggly, loves belly rubs, toys and is highly food motivated which is a plus for training! Riff is not the dog that will sit around and watch Netflix everyday, he wants fun and adventure before he is ready to settle in. Riff is fearful of dogs at first but once he warms up, he is playful and sweet.Please submit an application at http://helpinghoundsdogrescue.org A processed application is required to visit the rescue.
