About Rigley+

Rigley+ doesn’t buy into the whole senior dog narrative. This big, energetic husky mix is all about sprinting around the yard and showing off her toy collection. She’s completely devoted to her humans and bonds quickly—her foster’s grandchildren think she’s fantastic, and she’s friendly with other dogs once properly introduced. Whether it’s lounging as a second shadow or cuddling up for attention, Rigley always wants to be near her people. She’s housetrained with never a single accident and even chooses to hang out in her crate when she doesn’t have to. Car rides are smooth sailing, and she’s an easy leash walker. Motivated by treats (all varieties, please), she enjoys learning and responds well to her people. Rigley+ lost her longtime owner suddenly, but she’s ready for her next companion and a steady, loving home. Cat compatibility is unknown for now. Ready to meet a loving, faithful friend? Rigley’s waiting. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
