About Riley

Meet Riley! Riley is a charming 12-year-old terrier mix who weighs 16 pounds. Her previous owner couldn't take her to an assisted facility, leaving Riley ready for a new home. She's spayed, fully vetted, and well-prepared to start a new chapter in life. Though Riley has a seizure history, it’s been effectively controlled with phenobarbital. She's house trained and enjoys the company of other dogs, often cuddling with them when they let her. Riley strikes a lovely balance between relaxation and playtime, enjoying long walks just as much as cozy naps. She’ll happily greet you and then quickly warm up to new friends, barking a friendly hello before becoming their best buddy. If you're interested in adopting Riley, head directly to the Red Leash Rescue website to learn about the adoption process and submit your application. Time is of the essence, and she’s ready to find her forever home!
