Original:
When some of his behaviors became too much for his Virginia family to handle, Riley came to MAESSR. This youngster is shy and a little slow to warm up, but once he does, watch out! Riley is a fun boy that loves to play and snuggle with his people. He will let you throw a ball or a stick for him for HOURS. Then, when he needs to cool down, it’s off to the kiddie pool for some more play time. He loves to play in the pool and likes it even better if you will play too!
Riley has excellent house manners and does not get on the furniture although he is trying hard to get in bed with his foster parents! He is crate trained, but it is not needed. Riley loves to ride in the car and walks well on a leash. He likes to be groomed and will let you brush him for hours. Ahhh, the pampered pooch!
It was felt that starting Riley on some low cost medication would help him with anxiety and help in his transition to a forever home. So, this medication regime has begun. Riley should be able to be weaned off of the medication after 3 months in a permanent home.
If you enjoy playing with an active Springer and showering him with love, Riley might be your man!
