About Riley

Meet Riley, an adorable blend of Great Pyrenees charm and fluffy cuteness. Picture a pup with soft ears, a luscious coat, and a plume-tail reminiscent of a three musketeers hat, and you have Riley. At about 4 years old and weighing 90 pounds, he loves nothing more than lounging around, snuggling with his humans, and going for evening strolls. Once the clock hits 9-10 PM, it's zoomie time, followed by snack and snooze. This gentle giant thrives in quiet environments and prefers to have his humans close by, especially when sleeping—although he’s not a fan of crates, he will tolerate one if it means being near you. A securely fenced yard is essential for his playful spirit, and having a friendly dog companion would help him feel right at home. City living might be too chaotic for him, but a comfy, rural setup where someone works from home could be ideal. If snuggling up with a big ball of soft floof while watching him lounge around sounds perfect, then Riley might just be your dream companion. He currently resides in Nashville, TN, but can travel to meet you!
