If you'd like a dog with an extra large side of derp, then we have just the pup for you.... Riley! He is so endearingly awkward and wiggly and his antics are guaranteed to make you laugh!

At just under 2 years old, Riley is a youngin who loves all the things: his friends, his snacks, and his walkies. Riley is always happy to show off a few tricks he has up his sleeve: sit, stay, down and shake. And oh, you have some errands to run? Perfect because Riley loves riding in the car with all of his precious little heart (but of course please don't leave any pet in the car when the weather is warm)!

Riley has shown curious interest in other dogs but he has not been officially evaluated yet. If you have a playful resident dog, we can help get a meet & greet scheduled at the shelter with a member of the Behavior Team.

Riley's notes indicate that he has some resource guarding tendencies. While we have not observed this at the shelter, there is a possibility that this behavior could show itself in a home. He also cannot have certain toys, like tennis balls, because he will try to ingest them. While these are typically easily managed behaviors, Riley cannot go to a home with small children in order to keep everyone safe and happy.

An ideal adopter for Riley will take him on walks to exercise his body as well as do some puzzle & focus games to exercise his mind! He will go home with the support of the Orange Dot Crew (a volunteer advocacy group at the shelter), a crate & goody bag, and free training assistance from Friends of AAC’s Behavior Assistance Program.
