My story

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

This girl has got such a sweet, loyal, and loving nature that we've all just fallen for her. Shirley is in a foster home and her foster mom calls her "Riley". Riley is a fun loving, sweet dog who has a blast playing with toys and getting and giving attention. She has excellent manners in the house, she will wait to go potty until she is taken outside on leash. She is treat motivated and she's very agile and learns quickly. She knows how to sit, lay down, and leave it. She's a young girl, probably about four years old, she is medium sized, full grown, weighs 47 pounds and has a shiny silky soft black coat. She enjoys exploring and walks well on a leash and adjusts her walking speed to match yours. She also LOVES to play in the small pools and activities such as going to the river, lake, or beach or hanging out at the pool. She needs someone who will love the interaction of a very social dog. She has been attending a training class, and has learned the "sit", "shake a paw", "down" commands and is working on mastering the "leave it" command. She should be in a home without cats. She's waiting to meet you. Please submit an adoption application online at www.barkva.org or send an email to adopt@barkva.org or call 804-449-BARK (2275).
