Riley 12-042 [1]

Riley is a 5 year old GR mix.  He is UTD and weighs 88 pounds.  Riley was a stray who found his way to RAGOM via a friendly shelter and veterinarian in SD.  Riley was a little shy at first, but as soon as he warms up to a person he just can't get close enough to you.  When I first got him home he didn't even know his name.  He didn't seem to know any basic commands.  But he met the resident dogs with no problems and within a couple days he was responding to his "new" name and learning basic commands.  He is very food motivated and excited to make people happy.

Riley has not had any accidents in the house and generally is fairly well behaved indoors.  He does have a bad counter surfing habit.  We are working on that.Riley had an ear infection and some minor inflammation from his neuter on January 31.  He is pretty good about letting me treat his ears, and was willing to let me trim his nails and check his teeth.Riley is a high energy, strong and athletic boy and needs a good deal of exercise.  I believe he would do well in a house with or without dogs, but would probably be best in a home with grown or no children.  He just doesn't realize how big he is, and he would probably take food from children.Riley came with a martingale collar and walks/jogs without pulling.He is a real sweetheart.  If you think he is a match for your home, contact your placement adviser.
