Riley, the Dog of the Day
Name: Riley
Age: Two months old
Gender: Female Breed: Husky, Terrier,
Chow Chow mix
Home: Chicago, Illinois, USA
 
   Riley was found by a road next to her six littermates and a female Chow Chow. She was taken in by Just Animals Shelter and was put on Petfinder.com. There, we saw her and drove an hour to get her. They said she was many different breeds. We think she likes her new home and we like her being in our home.

    She is a cute little, fur ball with endless energy and loves when you rub her tummy. When you play with her, she nips a little but not very hard with her baby teeth. Being at only two months, she is already house broken and knows come and sit. When we're not watching she'll sneak into our closet and chew on our shoes, especially flip-flops. Before we got her crate, we put a two and a half feet gate up in the laundry room doorway thinking we didn't need a crate. One morning, when we got up she was in our sunroom. The next day we caught her in the act. It turns out she can stick her paws in the holes of the gate and climb out. She's so smart, cute, and playful!

    Whenever we take her on a walk, everyone always stops and asks what breed "he" is. We got sick of saying all the breeds we think she is and just say mixed. Are lives wouldn't be complete without our little pup, Riley!
