Riley's story

　　Here I am, are you ready? Riley is my name and fetching tennis balls is my game! I could fetch tennis balls every day of the week and twice on Saturdays and Sunday's. I am a beautiful 9 year old, yellow female 65 pound spunky and happy lab. Although I was turned in to DLRR by my prior family that had me since I was a pup (because they wanted a better life for me), Im not letting that deter my dream of finding a forever family to spend the rest of my golden years with.

　　Let me brag for a just a moment...I am doggie door and crate trained, housebroken and have had no accidents in my foster parents home, super cool, right? I can't wait till my humans get home and greet them with smile at the door. I even do lots of 360 turns of joy when I see them to show them how much I missed them...Ok, not only just cuz I missed them, but also cuz I know its meal time. Whohoooo!!! Im not on any meds and have no known medical issues.

　　With my prior family, I spent a lot of time at boarding and doggie day care but at my foster folks' home I get to roam freely along with the resident senior spaniel. I do not remember if I have been around or in pools (although I do like exploring the bathtub a bit). But Im not perfect, I do admit I like to counter surf and so I need friendly reminders not to do that. I would probably do better around older kids due to my excitement levels when greeting folks.
