My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Riley is a toy schnauzer that had been used as a breeding dog and spent the first few years of his life living in a crate. Then a nice woman took him in and away from that horrible life. But it turned out that she just didn't have time with her busy schedule to be at home enough with him for housebreaking. Riley is just the sweetest dog ever. Riley is so good natured - he gets along with other dogs and chases cats but does not hurt them. After living so long in a crate, Riley just needs someone experienced and able to take him out regularly so he will know what to do. Riley is just 3 years old and 8 pounds.

Update from his foster Mom: Riley is doing great with potty training with a regular schedule. He follows my dogs right outside after he eats and does his business. Since he has been with us, he has only had one accident. Riley has such an awesome personality. He is loving and sweet natured. He enjoys being held and getting attention.
