Description:

Meet Riley!

Riley, aka Buddy, is an adorable young dog. He is also a headstrong, strong-willed boy who tries to use his good looks to misbehave sometimes. When Buddy is out with his foster dog pack, he minds his manners. But when he is by himself on a leash, he tries to put strangers and their dogs in their place, an uncalled-for behavior from such a cutie.

Buddy also believes that toys and food are all his. He bullied dogs of same and smaller size when they made the mistake of taking his toys or standing near the dog food closet. His new foster family thinks he could be experiencing Napoleon syndrome as he attempts to be the alpha dog.

He would be best with a stable older dog that would play with him but not allow him to try to dominate. A home with small children is not recommended for Buddy as they won't know how to work around Buddy's moodiness.

Buddy has lots of energy and must be given a daily exercise to burn it off He enjoys running at the dog park where he can be off-leash. A fenced-in yard would be great for Buddy. He may be a small, adorable dog but he is not a couch potato type.

His new foster home is working on healthy behaviors and seeing some progress. He would be best suited for an active family that has had previous rescue dog experience and is willing and committed to attend obedience training with Buddy.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
