Riley is spirited guy with a big personality! This pudgy boy oozes confidence. He loves to play, explore, go for walks, and thinks he is king wherever he goes. Riley is bursting with a sass (maybe too much) and love. He is skilled at expressing his feelings and will dole out big kisses or loud barks depending on how he feels. Riley is an undefeated tug of war champion here at the pound and aces cookie eating every single time. He is a spicy little master thief and a skilled negotiator. The only way to get back things he shouldn’t have is to make him an acceptable trade offer.
Riley is a dominant dog that would benefit from some professional training. He is extremely food motivated and knows all kinds of tricks but he needs consistent boundaries and someone firm in their expectations of him. This affectionate little man loves to spend quality time with people and would be a great and entertaining addition to a household that will be tolerant of his naughty side.
Riley is a cheerful little guy when it comes to doing things he likes but not so much when it comes to things he doesn’t like. He is not nice to dog groomers or anyone trying to make him do something he does not want to do. It is not recommended that Riley be in a home with small children, cats, or other dogs.
He has made friends with another small dog while at the pound and they are walking buddies. The other dog lets Riley be in charge all the time so it works well but in a home Riley would likely be too pushy for the other dog. He does have very good manners when greeting other small dogs on the street but he gives most large dogs a hard time.
Riley is about 7 years old, house trained, neutered, has his first vaccines and has been treated for fleas. Riley’s adoption fee is $300.00.
