Meet Raiya! This sweet, eleven-year-old Terrier mix is a calm and elegant companion with a mostly black coat that perfectly complements her gentle soul. At 46 pounds, Raiya embodies quiet confidence and finds her greatest happiness simply being close to her people, savoring the simple pleasures of life like a peaceful walk, a cozy nap, or the delightful crunch of a carrot. She's the kind of dog who makes everyday moments feel special.
Raiya's personality is wonderfully steady and low-energy, making her a comforting presence for anyone who appreciates a more relaxed pace of life. She is house-trained, friendly towards strangers, and gentle with young children, especially in settings where her quieter nature is understood. While she'll happily announce arrivals with her voice, adding a touch of watchful charm, her overall demeanor is laid-back.
She knows basic commands like "sit" and "come" and, although she hasn't had formal training classes, she responds well to consistent kindness. Raiya enjoys her routine of two meals a day, settles well when left alone, and appreciates occasional car rides. She loves rawhides and dental chews, and her enthusiasm for cooked chicken is unmatched. When offering treats, it's best to do so with a closed hand due to her eagerness.
Ideal Home
Raiya is seeking a compassionate family who can provide a slower pace of life and support a senior dog with ongoing medical needs. A peaceful environment with a fenced yard will help her feel secure and supported.
Ongoing Health
Raiya is currently being treated for an autoimmune condition that requires medication, regular veterinary care, and routine bloodwork. She also experiences recurring UTIs, occasional digestive upset, and arthritis that can impact her comfort and mobility. Some of her medications can increase thirst and urination, so occasional accidents may occur.
Training & Support
Raiya knows basic commands and responds well to kindness and consistency. Patience and understanding will be key, especially regarding her medical needs and potential for occasional accidents.
