Mishka is as majestic as a lion—beautiful to watch and lovely to own. He loves going on walks or just lounging near the family, and is truly a lapdog wrapped in a large dog's body.

Story

Riley is a super soft, sweet corgi mix. Weighs 25.3 pounds. He’s approximately 8 months old as of October 2026. He loves to snuggle! He would do great in an active home. He loves to run and he’s fast! He is very sociable around other animals. He’s very comfortable staying in the crate when I am not home. It doesn’t stress him out at all. I just want to find a home that’s a better fit for him.
