Foster Home Feedback ** No cats 3/29/26 Temporary Care Feedback: Riggs is the kind of dog who makes everything feel easy. He rides in the car like a perfect gentleman, quietly settling in and relaxing the whole way. Once he’s with his people, his affectionate side shines through; he absolutely loves to cuddle and play, soaking up every bit of attention. During Riggs's kennel break, he handled meeting a “spicy” resident chi with impressive composure, showing very little reaction even when the other dog wasn’t on his best behavior. Foster coordinators note that he can be dog selective, but he tends to do better with smaller dogs. He was also tested with a cat and would do best in a home without them. Riggs knows his basic commands and is very treat‑motivated, which makes working with him fun and rewarding. One of his strongest skills is “kennel”—say the word and he walks right in, settling comfortably and doing very well in his crate. He’s a smart, curious boy who enjoys puzzles and enrichment, and he thrives when his mind is kept busy. With his sweet nature, intelligence, and eagerness to connect, Riggs is ready to be someone’s loyal, loving companion. 3/11/2026 Building Volunteer Feedback: Oh my goodness, Mr. Riggs is just the best well behaved 8-year-old gentleman! He is still waiting for a foster to open up so I’ve been spending some extra time with him and giving him a break from the shelter. On Sunday, we went to social hour at the Air Museum and discovered Riggs is an excellent passenger in a vehicle, is non reactive to seeing other dogs and that he knows sit, down, heel and stay! He also walks loose-leash great,too. Tuesday, we took a long sniff walk around both ponds south of Horizon school. Riggs posed for pics at the playground. Today, I had a massage and he got to come with to the appointment and waited quietly until I was finished. Riggs showed off all his obedience skills to my therapist. From there, we went to PetSmart to familiarize him to the sights and smells since we will be there for Saturday’s (3/14/26) adoption event from 1-2:30 pm Come and meet Riggs! On the way back to the shelter, he curled up and had a snooze riding shotgun. I just love this guy! ​ To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: .4luvofdog
