About Riley
Riley is a 3-year-old Labrador Retriever/Australian Shepherd mix originally from Show Low, AZ. Adopted as a puppy, she’s grown into a bright and devoted companion who prefers a low-key, adult-only home. Riley is leash and crate trained, does well on car rides, and enjoys fetch, walks, and quiet evenings with her favorite toys and "dog TV." She has an extensive command list—sit, lay down, come, stop, leave it, drop it, shake, up, off, and look—and learns quickly. Initial shyness and protectiveness mean she needs time to trust new people, but patience pays off with loyalty and affection. Busy or noisy environments make Riley anxious, and after adjusting to life with a new baby, her current family knows she’ll be much happier in a calm home without children or cats. She also does best as a solo pet. Riley is searching for a patient, understanding adopter who can give her a structured, loving space where she can relax and thrive. Your new best friend is just one click away.
