🌟Meet Riley🌟
Riley is a 5 month old female German shepherd mix. We think she’s potentially mixed with Australian cattle dog and/or Belgian Malinois, but not 100% certain.
PLEASE read her entire profile, if your family/living situation does not meet Riley’s needs, your application will not be considered.
Current weight – 30lbs
Full grown size – large, likely over 70lbs
Heartworm status – not tested due to age
Special medical 🏥 needs – needs to be spayed
🐶 friendly- yes with proper introduction. Gets along great with foster’s 2 dogs.
🐈 friendly- unknown
Kid friendly- yes, best with kids 10 and over due to her energy level and strength
House 🏠 Broken- about 90% there, needs to be let outside frequently to be successful but has kept her crate clean and dry for 6 hours overnight.
Crate trained- yes, goes in willingly with a treat and stays quiet
Leash trained- work in progress
Travels well in 🚗 – yes lays quietly when properly restrained in back seat
Energy level – (on a scale of 1-10, 1 being total couch 🥔 10 being the energizer 🐰) – typical puppy! Probably about a 7/10. She needs adequate exercise before she’s ready to relax and snuggle
Fenced yard required – yes, prey driven will chase after wildlife! 🐿️
Ideal family/ living situation- I think she would do best in a home with a job, farm dog, shop dog. She focuses on her person intently and may make a good therapy dog. Will do well in a very active family where someone is with her most of the time. She is not the dog to leave home alone for 8 or more hours a day. Someone in family should have working dog experience.
Favorite toys and activities. She loves playing 🎾 and keep away. She will entertain herself with any stuffy and plays tug with other dogs. Favorite all time activity is getting belly rubs!
Anything notable about personality – Riley is extremely smart 🤓and learns quickly. She is a typical working breed. She is already very loyal and will probably require training. Will do best with someone with experience with her breeds.
