About Riley

Meet Riley, a unique blend of a hamster and a Great Pyrenees. His soft ears and huggable floof make him utterly irresistible, and with his sad puppy eyes, he could charm anyone. Riley boasts light shedding, doesn't drool, and has the cutest plume tail that resembles a Three Musketeers hat. At 4 years old and 90 pounds, Riley enjoys the simple pleasures: sleeping, snuggling, and going for evening walks. He transforms into a speedy little tornado around 9-10 PM before settling down with a snack. While he prefers quieter settings, he loves car rides—just needs a crack in the window for that perfect breeze. Riley would excel in a securely fenced yard with a friendly dog companion. He’s not a fan of crates unless his humans are close by. A rural environment with people who work from home or are retired would suit him best, as he finds the hustle of city life overwhelming. If your idea of a good time includes cuddling with a fluffy companion and leisurely strolls, Riley is the dog for you! He’s currently in Nashville, TN, but he’s ready to travel for the right home.
