Meet Riley, also known as Smiley Riley, a charming tri-colored Rough Collie who’s looking for his forever home. After the sudden loss of his owner, Riley is currently in a loving foster home where he’s receiving all the love and care he needs to overcome his grief.
This dapper fellow is as sweet as can be, with a patient and intelligent nature that makes him a joy to be around. He’s eager to please and loves going on long walks, making him an ideal companion for an active person or family. Don’t let his age fool you! Riley is best suited for a human or family that loves to hike and take long walks (he likes his daily 12,000 steps!!). Riley would like a quiet environment as he is still healing from the loss of his human. A family with kids is ok but he does need a quiet household as that is what he is used to.
Riley gets along with other dogs but is fine to be your only pal and get all your attention. He has not been kitty tested but foster Mama has not noticed anything but curiosity with wildlife so herding or chasing a cat is probably not an issue.
Riley’s foster home is helping him heal, but he’s ready to bring joy and companionship to his new forever family. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion, Riley might be the perfect fit for you.
