My story

This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs. Please contact the email listed in this post. For more information and to apply to adopt Riley, please contact:  caitlinlastinger@gmail.com  Meet Riley! Riley is the full package – silly, affectionate, curious, and smart. She’s emotionally intuitive, making her the perfect emotional support (Velcro) bestie. She’s also part piglet (smaller than she looks in pics) and makes the cutest noises. She's around 3 years old & weighs 55lbs.   She plays independently with her toys, listens well to redirection, and truly wants to please. She is hilarious and will light up any home with her antics. She would be a fantastic protective dog as she is fiercely loyal and intuitive. She was listed for euthanasia at the shelter after being used for breeding and has been thriving in foster care learning that the world isn’t such a bad place.  Energy & Enrichment: This girl loves enrichment! Riley loves chew toys, lick mats, tug, and walks. She’s curious and clumsy, often bumping into things as she zooms around the house with excitement. She thrives with structure and scheduled  downtime. She needs a moderate-activity home that can offer mental and physical stimulation.  Children & Cats: Due to her *enthusiasm* she would do best in a calm home with dog-savvy teens (15+) and no cats.  Leash & Home Life: Riley’s leash manners are still in progress—she walks best in low-distraction environments. If she’s had exercise and a bathroom break, she settles quickly in her crate (white noise helps!)  Play Style & Dog Manners: Riley loves wrestling with dogs her size or larger. She could live with another well-matched dog, but her new family should have solid experience reading dog body language and managing slow introductions. Ideal Home: Riley would do best in a home with someone who works from home and can provide structure, love, and patience. She’s strong, spunky, and so full of love—a "bowling meatball" who deserves a family ready to support her journey and embrace her goofy, beautiful cuddly self.
