RIGGS

My story

Meet Riggs – The Energetic, Loyal, Gorgeous Chocolate Retriever mix boy!  Riggs is a Chocolate Retriever mix that is barely a year old, just under 50 lbs, and ready to find his forever family. He didn’t have the best start since he was originally dumped at the Agriculture School in Nashville, TN and left to run scared through traffic on a hot day. Thankfully, a kind foster mom earned his trust, and now Riggs is thriving in foster care and looking for the home he truly deserves &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143.   This boy is full of energy and a twinkle in his eye when he tries to find a good rumble play partner in the backyard.   This boy is a handsome male that is begging to be taught all the good manners in life.  Some boundaries created and training sessions that will polish him into the smart and enviable companion that he has the potential to be. Riggs will be a fun project to take under wing.  He already has the important skills of walking well on a leash and being able to get along at a dog park.  Here are the stats on Riggs and all the good things about him.   &#226&#156&#168 About Riggs: Young, ~1 year old, ~50 lbs Chocolate Retriever mix with a shiny coat + toffee-colored eyes and a feathery tail Sweet, affectionate, and full of enthusiasm Best for a family with older kids (he’s loving but sometimes a little too bouncy) Thrives with lots of exercise — daily walks, hikes, dog park trips, or an active playmate Would love another high-energy dog in the home, but he’s also perfect for an outdoorsy person who wants a loyal sidekick A total water dog — creeks, showers, and even water bowls are his jam Great on leash, house-trained, learning crate manners, and knows “sit” Can be a chatty guard dog — he’ll tell you about his day, announce visitors, and let you know when packages arrive His deep bark might sound intimidating, but behind it is a goofy, loyal companion Riggs is past the destructive puppy stage but still learning manners—he jumps when excited and has plenty of young-dog energy. Once he’s had his exercise, though, he’s a calm, sweet couch buddy who loves nothing more than Netflix snuggles.
