Meet Raiya! This lovely eleven-year-old Terrier mix is a true gem, with a mostly black coat and a gentle soul that radiates calm elegance. At 46 pounds, she carries herself with a quiet confidence, happiest when she's by her people's side, enjoying the simple pleasures of life. Raiya is the kind of companion who makes everyday moments special, whether it's a peaceful walk, a cozy nap nearby, or the delightful crunch of a carrot! Her personality is steady and low-energy, offering a comforting presence for those who appreciate a slower pace. Raiya is house-trained, friendly to strangers, and gentle with children, especially in a home that respects her quieter nature. She'll happily announce visitors with her voice, adding a charming touch to her laid-back demeanor. Raiya knows basic commands like "sit" and "come," and while she hasn't had formal training, she responds beautifully to kindness and consistency. She thrives on a routine of two meals a day, is content when left alone, and enjoys occasional car rides to observe the world. She's kept happy with rawhides and dental chews, and her love for cooked chicken is unparalleled. When offering treats, it's best to use a closed hand as she's an eager snacker.
Ideal Home
