Story

🐾 Meet Riley Riley is a sweet, loyal 11-year-old small terrier (about 15 lbs) looking for a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years. He is 98% easygoing and thrives in a peaceful environment. Riley bonds deeply with his people, loves routine, and is happiest curled up nearby or enjoying quiet companionship. Once he knows you, he’s affectionate, devoted, and wonderfully steady. 🧠 Personality & Home Fit Riley does best in a low-key, adult-only home or with older, dog-savvy teens. Like many senior dogs, he can be startled if approached suddenly by unfamiliar people, so he needs a family that understands canine boundaries and is comfortable giving him a little space at first. With a gentle introduction and a predictable environment, Riley settles in beautifully and shows his loving side. 🐕 Ideal Home ✔ Calm household ✔ Patient, experienced dog owners ✔ No small children ✔ Slow introductions to new people ✔ Quiet, predictable routine
