About Riley

Meet Riley, also affectionately known as "Dobby Girl." This sweet two-year-old Xoloitzcuintli is a delightful presence at just eight pounds. She radiates warmth and love, always ready to greet you with cuddles and a friendly hello. Riley is a quick learner, adapting easily to new situations and finding comfort in her surroundings. Riley is surprisingly well-mannered around both dogs and cats, making her a smooth companion on walks and in the home. She's currently pee pad trained, and her foster is gently introducing her to outdoor adventures in New York City. With a moderate energy level, Riley enjoys morning snuggles, leisurely walks, and cozy naps, always eager to stay close to her people. Ideal for a calm household where she can revel in plenty of cuddle time, Riley is particularly suited for someone who works from home. She thrives on companionship, especially from other small dogs. Some of her endearing quirks include a full-body shake, burrowing into blankets, and relaxing with legs sprawled out. Her foster beautifully sums it up: "When you think of the 'perfect dog for NYC,' it's Riley. She doesn’t bark, growl, or whine. She even respects feisty cats and fits seamlessly into your daily routine. Anyone who adopts Riley is incredibly fortunate." Ready to make her part of your family?
