My story

Riley is the definition of a gentle soul. She’s lower energy, dog-friendly, crate trained, and has that calm, loving presence that instantly makes a house feel like home. She’s happiest when she’s curled up for a cozy nap, strolling by your side on a walk, or soaking up all the snuggles. Riley is a 5-7 yo/73 lb Black Lab mix who was rescued straight off the euthanasia list in Houston. She’s safe now — and ready for the best chapter of her life. If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal, easygoing companion who will be forever grateful for her second chance, Riley is your girl. She’s so ready to leave her shelter days behind and trade them in for sunny spots on the couch and a family to call her own. "Riley likes long naps in the shade, any kind of treat, and anyone that looks her way. An easy houseguest that won’t chew your sneakers or complain about skipping a walk during the winter."
