My muzzle may be a little wiser, but my heart has never stopped looking for someone to love. <br/>Hi, I'm Rya.<br/>I'm an 8-year-old Aussie/Collie mix, and while that officially makes me a senior, please don't let that word fool you. I still have so much life, love, and companionship to offer.<br/>What I want most in this world isn't a fancy bed or endless toys...<br/>It's you.<br/>I'm the kind of dog who absolutely craves human affection. I don't just like being around my peopleI need it. I have separation anxiety, so I'd be happiest in a home where someone is around most of the time. If you're retired, work from home, or simply love having a loyal shadow by your side, I think we'd make a wonderful team.<br/>I'm a very, very sweet girl who just wants to be close to the people I love. I'll happily accept belly rubs, gentle pets, kind words... and don't forget the treats! I LOVE treats, and I already know sit, lay down, and shake, so I'm always happy to show off my manners if there's a snack involved. <br/>I'm potty trained, though I'm not crate trained.

At this stage of my life, I'm not looking for excitement.
I'm looking for belonging.
I want someone who understands that some of us seniors don't need to climb mountains to be happy we just need someone to sit beside, walk with, and love every single day.
