Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie : : Male (neutered) : : Senior : : Medium Learn more about the Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie.
My name is Riley! I am a sable colored male sheltie weighing 27 lbs. I have celebrated 14 birthdays and hope for more. My arrival in rescue was due to the unfortunate passing of my owner who gave me a second chance at life by adopting me from a shelter two years ago. Physically I am not a young pup but considering my age I do pretty good. Even though I can't catch the squirrels and birds I still chase them. Each day I get my exercise by walking on a leash which I am pretty good at. They tell me this helps my arthritis for which I take a prescription. Although most of my teeth are gone I still devour my food and any treats I receive. At night I sleep like a log having to be awakened each morning. During the day when I am not protecting my family from any evils that lurk near I fill the time with dog naps. My favorite thing in life is sitting close to my loved ones. I don't bother them just want to be close to keep them company. My eyesight is not the best and I am a little deaf but I get around pretty good. There are other dogs now in my foster home and I mostly ignore them except where food is involved. My deep bark lets them know I am the boss at this time. If possible a home where I would be the only dog would be my preference. All I ask is another chance! I am loyal, friendly, lovable and will fill any void in your heart!
