Meet Raiya! This gentle, eleven-year-old Terrier mix is a calm and elegant lady with a predominantly black coat and soulful eyes that will instantly put your heart at ease. At 46 pounds, Raiya carries herself with quiet confidence and is happiest when she's close to her people, enjoying life's simple pleasures. She turns ordinary moments into something special, whether it's a peaceful walk, a cozy nap nearby, or the satisfying crunch of her favorite carrots!
Raiya has a steady, low-energy personality, making her a comforting presence in a home that appreciates a slower pace. She's house-trained, friendly with strangers, and gentle with young children 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. She knows simple commands like "sit" and "come" and responds well to consistency and kindness. Raiya enjoys her daily routine, relaxing when left alone, and occasional car rides. Rawhides and dental chews keep her content, and her love for cooked chicken is unmatched, though treats are best offered with a closed hand due to her eager snacking style.
