Riley needs room to run!

Very special dog requires very special home. Riley is a beautiful, sweet, and outgoing

springer/hound mix (we think), between 3-4 yrs old. He has experienced lots of mov

es in his first few years of life -- mostly because of behavior resulting from separation anxiety. Riley's homes up until

now have all been in urban or suburban areas. His instinct to chase squirrels and bunnies

causes lots of incidents of fence jumping (including 6' fences!), and situations

that put him in danger of being hit by a car. Riley's separation anxiety requires that he NOT be kenneled, and that

he NOT be left alone inside a house. He will go to any length to try and get out

to find his "person", including breaking a tooth.

Riley's ideal home: a home with lots of room to run, preferably in the country; a home where he is very loved by his adoptive family; a home where he can be left outside with access to a shelter (i.e. a dog door to the house, a porch, garage, barn, etc. in case of bad weather) when it's not possible to take him along. Riley LOVES the car, and ironically does not mind being left alone in the car for short periods of time while you pick up groceries, run errands, etc. Riley has lived with small children and kittens, and is wonderful and docile around both. He is also very social around other dogs. Everyone who meets Riley falls in love with him -- he is such a loveable guy!
