Riley

Profile

Riley is a 7 year old neutered male. Riley came to us here in South Dakota from the state of Minnesota last night by some absolute wonderful transporters! He had a long ride in which he did very well for both transporters. So obviously he rides well! Riley came into Ragom for a couple reasons: First, in the past he has had seizures; it was stated perhaps every couple months(?)....second is there are two very young children and there is not much time for Riley now. Here is what we do know about this lovely BIG boy: 

1. Riley is a 7 year old neutered male golden retriever mix
2. Riley is a big boy, about 85# and is tall
3. Riley has light golden hair, white tip on tail and a while blaze on his nose, your curly golden hair on his back
4. Eyes that make you melt! Golden eyes....
5. Riley LOVES to be pet
6. Riley is SUPER nice; :LOVES kids (more on that later)
7. Riley LOVES people
8. Riley is VERY good with other dogs; he is now staying with 3 other dogs and 3 cats
9. Riley seems to ignore or not think much of the cats (they of course scatter currently as they don’t know that however, they are not scared of him, just unsure as cats are)
10. Riley listens very well and has been taken care of very well before Ragom
11. Riley is UTD other than bordatella (more on that later too)
12. In the past Riley has been crated all day in garage while owners were at work due to their concerns on a possible seizure otherwise Riley has free roam all the time; seizures were listed at approximately every 8 weeks or so, and more on that later....
13. Riley is NOT on any medications
14. Riley is somewhat scared of fireworks/storms---he will whine a little...no major anxieties at all
15. Riley has free roam in foster home (more on that later)
16. Riley is a BIG SWEETHEART of a boy! Riley is obviously a mix (probably lab) but has the golden personality

     

As stated above, more on that later because we have not had him long at all.........each day of course we learn more and more. What I can and will say is that this boy is a sweetheart and loves other dogs and people! He is just a wonderful boy and considering how majored confused he has to be, is adapting very well! He is a gentle giant in my impression. You can take anything out of his mouth, again he listens and re-directs very good! Riley will go to my Ragom vet next week for a check and a microchip and the ol’ once over! I asked Riley to ‘jump in bed’ with me last night and he did! He does however, prefer his ‘bean bag’ that he came with which is fine.....he took up the whole bed! He came with a large soft leather/vinyl adult bean bag which he always sleeps in. He has his kong and other toys. He loves to be brushed and has a nice coat and again, has been well kept up. He came from a family with two small babies........20 mos old and 2 weeks old so kids are fine! When Riley perks his ears up, he shows so much personality in himself! He has those light golden eyes which are beautiful! We are enjoying fostering this big baby! If you are looking for a big wonderful golden mix who knows many commands, gets along with other dogs, loves kids and people, ignores cats and is a lover and has such a super personality, please email: [email protected]  

This is one special great boy!!!!!!!! More to come.........Can you provide a loving home for this lovely guy?
