My story

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

Riley was on the SASA PTS list Sat. 5/13/24 at 4:30 pm so we tagged him to save his life. He was a shelter staff favorite. Riley is a super sweetie dog and people friendly once he meets. He loves to play then calms and lounges. He loves hanging out and playing with other dogs. He has learned basic training and easy to train. He's a pleaser. He already has learned to sit and wait for treats only gently taking the treat after the release command. Riley is very pretty and unique with one blue eye. Donations are appreciated to help us pay for his emergency boarding until we find him a foster home. 2/14/25 update. Riley is finally in a foster home. Doing great and loves following their other dogs. He loves parks and going hiking. He would do best in a home with another dog buddy but doing fine in a foster home now as only dog that has WFH guardian. When they first took him in he was very nervous and timid but once comfortable he feels safe and lovable. Lyle did great at our showcase events with other dogs around. Now he is learning happy and healthy. His coat is better and softer. Eating healthier and fresh foods which makes a huge difference. He is house trained and crate trained.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We are very thorough in our adoption process. The details and costs can be found on our How to Adopt page. We expect the whole family to be involved in the process.

We believe our dogs and cats should be treated as family members for their entire lives. They deserve the best we can give them and we should never give up on them. Adoption is for life!
