About Riley

This little Yorkie boy is Riley. He is 11 years old and weighs 9.4 pounds. Riley is being fostered in Odessa, FL. UPDATED BIO 09/02/2019: Riley continues to do well in his foster home. Poor little fella went through quite an ordeal before he arrived in UYR. He was found wandering the streets, then spent some time at the shelter, and when his owner didn't come for him, one of our wonderful foster moms did! Riley walks nicely on the leash and stays right with foster mom. He is a smart boy and is house-trained. He does like to be taken outside often, so a forever home where there is at least one stay-at-one parent would be great. Riley has obviously not been exposed to toys, as he is skittish of them when foster mom tries to throw for him to fetch. He is also afraid of the broom and vacuum cleaner and will go in circles and bark at them. It is very possible that Riley was always an outside dog and not accustomed to normal things in a home. Riley doesn't appear to be a lap dog - yet. But he does love to lay on the couch beside his human. That may change as time goes by. Riley is very accepting of strangers and he is good with other small dogs. He does have immature bilateral cataracts, but he can see just fine and has no problems whatsoever getting around. It is normal for dogs of his age to have the beginning of cataracts and that is what Riley has. He is a very sweet boy who is so very deserving of a loving forever home.
