About Riley

Meet Riley, the golden girl who’s ready for a fresh start. This lovely 6-year-old female Golden Retriever weighs about 60 pounds and has a warm, affectionate personality that reflects her beautiful coat. Life has thrown some challenges her way; her family is going through a separation, and she’s now seeking a foster-to-adopt placement. Riley deserves a steady home where she can feel secure and loved. She’s gentle and sweet, making her a fantastic companion. Riley is dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and great with children, making her an ideal addition for families. She’s wee-wee pad trained and does her business outside, but she hasn’t been crate trained yet, so her future family should know she may need some adjustment time. With the support of ROOT Rescue, Riley’s veterinary care is covered so that her foster family can focus on providing comfort and safety. She isn't aggressive; she just needs a patient family to help her through this transition. Could you provide a loving home for Riley? She’s ready to fill your life with companionship and love. Your care could make all the difference for this sweet girl. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
