About This Dog

Riley's ideal home

Say hello to Riley! Riley has found himself in Dogs Trust's care through no fault of his own. He is a super sweet gentleman who could share his new home with dog savvy kids aged 10+ and other dogs pending successful meets at the centre. Riley has been used to living with his best friend Roxy, so we would really love to get this bonded pair rehomed together. Riley doesn't love being left on his own, but if he has the company of another dog he can be left for short periods until leaving time could be built once settled. Riley would love a large, enclosed garden space where he can enjoy his favourite game, fetch!

Could you be Riley's perfect match?

Riley is a stunning 5-year-old Collie on the lookout for his forever home! As is common with his breed, Riley has energy and brains to burn so will thrive in an active home who will keep his mind busy with fun enrichment games. He is fully housetrained and would prefer to live in a home where he will be part of the family at all times! Riley travels well in the car for short journeys and working on building up this distance for adventures further afield! If you feel Riley could be a good fit for you home, follow the steps below and don't forget to "favourite" him! If you are also interested in Roxy, please mention this is your application.
