Riley #39 is a 2-year-old, 40-pound male Lab mix with a big heart and an even bigger wag. He absolutely adores people and is wonderful with children, making him a loving and loyal family companion. With a medium energy level, Riley is playful and curious without being overly hyper. He enjoys a good game of fetch, exploring new scents in his yard, and then winding down with cozy cuddle time at the end of the day. Riley is crate trained, leash trained, and house trained, so he’s a reliable and easy addition to the right home. Riley is dog friendly with slow, proper introductions. He would do best in a home that understands how to manage and support positive dog interactions and is not suited for dog parks or chaotic dog environments. He does not do well with cats. He thrives best in a structured, loving home where he can feel safe and secure. He’s looking for a family who can provide daily exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of affection. In return, Riley will give you unwavering loyalty, endless tail wags, and a lifetime of devotion. If you’re searching for a people-loving best friend who will flourish with the right guidance and love, Riley could be the perfect match.
