Meet Riley — a gorgeous 1-year-old Shepherd mix (possibly a Shepsky) with a soft soul and stunning tri-colored coat. Found as a stray on 4/21/2025, Riley has been through a lot in her short life. She spent time recovering from kennel cough in isolation and is now cautiously stepping out into the world — one gentle walk at a time. While still a little nervous outdoors, especially near loud roads, she’s already showing signs of blossoming into a confident, loyal companion.
Weighing in on the smaller side of the 36–75 lb range, Riley is the perfect size for all of life’s adventures. She’s sweet, affectionate, and smart — soaking up praise and pets like sunshine. Her favorite things? Gentle encouragement, being called a Good Girl, and walking by your side (as long as it’s not too noisy just yet!). With some patience and continued socialization, Riley is sure to thrive and become an incredibly loving and faithful member of the family.
