This is the most handsome Riley, he is about 4 years of age and being fostered in Horsely Derby. He is currently under assessment but living well with two female dogs at the moment is a very friendly lad who loves to give big cuddles to you and loves the look of children but not sure what to do with them. once he is assessed we will be able to describe the best home for him but while this happens his lovely foster mum will keep us up to date on how he is doing.

Riley has been with us now for almost 2 weeks and has settled in very well. He is very good with children 6 yrs onwards (he has not been with any younger whilst with us) and is not a dominant dog at all. He is wary of other dogs to start off with, if they show NO signs of nastiness then he LOVES to play, if they give off an unfriendly appearance then he is off like a shot, he is definitely not a fighter and does not even defend himself if another dog sets about him!! Riley has only seen cats at a distance or in a crate at the vets; he did not appear to be too bothered about them. Riley is still getting used to his new name and so his recall is not great, however, it is getting better. Riley does pull on the lead but is a quick learner and with more training should be fine walking on a lead. He loves to chase tennis balls and will bring them back to you but, if he gets distracted, he leaves them wherever they drop!
Riley is happy to be in his crate at night and happily goes in and out of it all day. He is a very clean boy and spends hours grooming himself, getting into the most amusing and creative positions to be able to reach dirty bits! He does know the “Sit” command but is not great unless it involves waiting for a treat! Riley will do ANYTHING for a treat; he is a typical Dalmatian and does like his food, to the point of stealing food if it is within his reach! You do have to give a very firm “NO” command if you are going to leave any food unattended or on his mouth level!!
Riley LOVES to great people by jumping up with his front paws, although a big lad, he is very gentle when he does this. He also LOVES to have lots of cuddles and insists on kissing us lots! When out and about in the car Riley is very relaxed and tends to lie down quietly on a cushion.
All in all Riley is a lovely, playful, gentle, cuddly boy who deserves the best home he can possibly get. We will be very sad to see him leave us but happy that he will have a forever home soon.

Well Riley's visitors did come on Sunday, he had a lovely time playing with them and they liked him so much they are coming to pick him up tomorrow, Tues 30th Oct, to take him home with them. We will miss him soooooooo much but we know that he will be very happy in his new forever home. Hopefully we will get updates every now and then as to how he is doing. Such a lovely boy will really miss him! xxx

We would be very interested in Riley..we are in cornwall, my partner loves going for long runs and we both love walking, anything that involves the outdoors! Is Riley still needing a home? Thank you

Hi yes he is but he needs the most understanding home he is not an easy dog to rehome as he does not act himself in new homes for at least 6 weeks and he has been rehomed twice now and both times sent back due to his growling and abnormal behaviour within in 24 hours if you feel you would like to know more please message me and we can talk he really is a lovely boy but does need an understanding family.

Hi Thank you for your response. We would like to understand a little more about him, to ensure we are making an informed decision. We noticed Riley a month or so ago. Our only problem is we are away over christmas so we could only offer him a home in the new year (if it is meant to be). But we would like to know more, to ensure we are able to meet his needs. Kind regards Jackie & Chris
