About Raiya

Meet Raiya! This elegant eleven-year-old Terrier mix is a gentle soul with a quiet kind of charm. At 46 pounds, Raiya is happiest when she's close to her people, enjoying simple pleasures like peaceful walks, cozy naps, and the delightful crunch of her favorite carrots. Her low-energy, steady personality makes her a comforting presence, perfect for a home that appreciates a slower pace of life. Raiya is house-trained, friendly with strangers, and gentle with children, though she appreciates when her quieter nature is respected. She'll happily announce visitors with her voice, adding a touch of watchful charm to her laid-back demeanor. Raiya knows basic commands like "sit" and "come" and thrives with consistency and kindness. She enjoys her routine of two meals a day, settles well when left alone, and takes pleasure in occasional car rides.

Ideal Home

Raiya would thrive in a peaceful, caring environment with a fenced yard that provides security and support. She needs a family that can appreciate her quieter nature and is prepared to manage her ongoing medical needs with patience and understanding.

Ongoing Health

Raiya is being treated for an autoimmune condition requiring medication, regular veterinary care, and routine bloodwork. She also experiences recurring UTIs, occasional digestive upset, and arthritis that can affect her comfort and mobility. Some of her medications can lead to increased thirst and more frequent urination, which may result in occasional accidents. Because she cannot safely receive certain vaccines, Raiya must be in a home without other dogs.

Training & Support

Raiya responds well to consistency and kindness. While she hasn't had formal training classes, she knows simple commands. Patience and understanding will be key, especially regarding her occasional accidents due to medication. Her eager snacking style means treats are best offered with a closed hand.
