Riley's Story

We cannot guarantee the breed of any animal in our care and the breed listed is simply our best guess based on observation. <br/><br/>If you're interested in adopting or having a one on one meet and greet, fill out an application by visiting safepawsia.org.<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $250<br/><br/>GOOD WITH CATS: Yes, but would recommend dog savvy cat<br/><br/>GOOD WITH DOGS: <br/><br/>GOOD WITH KIDS: <br/><br/>KNOWN COMMANDS: Sit, Kennels very well<br/><br/>KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING: No accidents in kennel or around the house<br/><br/>KNOWN KENNELING: Kennels well and is quiet<br/><br/>KNOWN LEASH: Need some leash work<br/><br/>KNOWN LIKES: Daily walks <br/>Watching out windows <br/>Any stuffies that she can destroy <br/>Playing with other dogs <br/>Watching the squirrels in the backyard <br/>Doing zoomies<br/><br/>KNOWN DISLIKES: Squirrels, rabbits, any random animal you could encounter on a walk.<br/><br/>FROM THE FOSTER: Riley is a very energetic dog and needs many different outlets to release her energy. Walks are her favorite, but she's on constant lookout for squirrels, rabbits, and anything else she could give chase to. She has a high prey drive that causes her to pull, hard, when she wants to get something. She may be medium sized but her pull to chase is not to be underestimated. If not looking for animals, Riley likes a brisk walk, but still stopping to get the smells. <br/><br/>In the backyard she loves to do zoomies and romps with the other dogs, plus keeping an eye out for those pesky squirrels. On these recent nice days, she loves being outside soaking up the sun. <br/><br/>In the house, she does a lot of romping with the other foster dog, chewing on toys, and window watching. <br/><br/>Riley does well with listening and usually comes when called, but if she's focused on a squirrel it's harder to get her attention. <br/><br/>When Riley wants attention she can get demanding with nosing at your hand or getting up in your face and can get jumpy when people are standing. She does like to cuddle, but it's when she's ready. <br/><br/>She did live with a couple dog savvy cats for a short while and for the most part would ignore or could be distracted away from them.
