About Riley

Meet Riley, a medium-sized young adult poodle mix who radiates sweetness and resilience. She entered rescue with matted fur and a timid heart, but after some care and love, Riley blossomed into an affectionate companion. She does best in a quiet home with plenty of love; while she loves other dogs and cats, she'd thrive as the only pet or with a calm, older dog. Riley is house-trained and learns quickly to communicate her needs—she'll signal at the door when it's time to go outside. Although she’s not a fan of her crate, she is gentle and non-destructive when left alone. Riley can be shy around strangers, so she appreciates slow introductions and personal space. A little separation anxiety means she loves her humans deeply, and she'll bark for a few minutes when you leave, so a single-family home is preferable. Once she trusts you, her loyalty is unwavering, and she’ll wrap you in love and companionship. If you're patient and nurturing, Riley will offer you years of joy and devotion.
