Description:
Riley is a stunningly handsome collie boy looking for his forever home. He is a people-loving guy who enjoys being near his foster—sometimes quietly watching from a distance, other times hanging out right by her side. He is excited when she arrives back home and greets her with some happy barks.
Riley is gentle, mellow, sensitive, and can be a bit shy and nervous when faced with something new, but he’s handling everything well. That said, he would probably run from something that really startled or frightened him. He’s also proven to be a great companion to the foster’s two other dogs—outside, they romp and chase, and he loves sniffing out all the new and interesting smells.
Riley understands commands like “sit, and he even offers his paw to shake. He comes when called, knows his name, and willingly goes into his crate at night when asked and rewarded with a treat—a skill he learned in the first week he was at his foster’s. Riley has been left in the house uncrated for short periods of time and is very trustworthy.
With his dignified, attentive demeanor, affectionate heart, and true collie spirit and personality, Riley will be a loyal, loving addition to a lucky forever family.
