Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Animal's name: Rompin' Riley Age (years): 4 Weight (pounds): 12 Spayed/Neutered: Yes Coat: Smooth Color: Red Adoption fee: 250 Riley was picked up as a stray in Sacramento. After spending three weeks in the shelter he was brought into rescue where he acclimated rather quickly. We think Riley is about 4 years old. Although Riley is shy when he first meets new people, he is becoming more outgoing every day. He is extremely sweet and affectionate and loves to hang out with his people, snuggle, and sunbathe. Riley loves going on walks and for car rides. He gets along very well with the dogs in his foster home, both male and female, and he seems to get his confidence from being around them. Because of this Riley would love to find a home with another dog but would be okay by himself. He is not barker, even when the resident dogs in the home bark. He is working on being house trained and will need a family who will continue his training. Riley will sleep in a crate but like most doxies prefers sleeping in the big bed. Riley has been neutered, micro chipped and vaccinated. We have not tested Riley with cats but he does not seem to have too high of a prey drive (as evidenced by the fact he doesnÂt really seem to know why he is chasing squirrels with his foster sister). To meet Riley or see more pics of him, go to drnc.org and find his name under 'available dogs'. You must fill out the application. No one will be considered to adopt without the application.
