Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Poodle (Standard) / Mixed (medium coat). Riley has come a long way in just a few short weeks. When a community member found him unable to stand, our Humane Law Enforcement Officers rushed to help. Once at the shelter, our veterinary team immediately began working to uncover what was wrong with this sweet boy. Even when he couldnât use his hind legs, Rileyâs gentle spirit shone through, heâd lift his head to greet every team member who came by. After lab work and X-rays, our team determined that Riley is likely suffering from intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). With medication and plenty of care, Riley has made incredible progress and can now walk again. Heâs still a little wobbly, but that doesnât stop him from enjoying short walks and soaking up the sunshine out in the yard with staff. Recently, Riley was treated to a much-needed grooming thanks to Katieâs Divine K9s, and we discovered that he loves a spa day and absolutely adored the extra attention! When Riley first arrived, many people reached out asking about him, now, we need your help to find him the loving home he deserves. Because of his condition, Riley cannot go up and down stairs. He enjoys the company of other dogs but canât run or roughhouse, so he needs a calm canine companion or to be your one-and-only. Riley will need on-going veterinary support to help manage his condition. Rileyâs story is one of resilience, kindness, and hope and now, heâs ready for the next chapter with a family who will love him just as much as we do.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Labradoodle is a charming and increasingly popular hybrid breed, originating in Australia in the late 1980s with the goal of creating a guide dog for a visually impaired individual allergic to dog hair. This delightful canine combines the best traits of its parent breeds: the intelligent Poodle (Standard) and the friendly Labrador Retriever. Physically, Labradoodles boast a range of sizes and coat types, from wavy fleece to curly wool, often shed-reduced, making them a potential option for individuals with mild allergies. Their coats come in various colors, including cream, chocolate, and black. Temperamentally, they are known for being sociable, intelligent, and trainable, making them excellent family pets. They thrive on human companionship and require moderate exercise to stay happy and healthy. While adaptable, their energy levels mean they generally prefer homes with yards over small apartments, though daily walks are essential. Common health considerations, inherited from their parent breeds, can include hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, and certain cancers, so choosing a reputable breeder is crucial for a healthy companion.
