Meet Raiya, an eleven-year-old Terrier mix with a gentle soul and a quiet elegance. She's a 46-pound girl who loves being close to her people, enjoying simple pleasures like peaceful walks, cozy naps, and the satisfying crunch of a carrot. Raiya has a steady, low-energy personality that makes her a comforting presence, and she's friendly with strangers and gentle with young children. She'll happily announce visitors with her voice, adding a watchful charm to her laid-back demeanor. Raiya knows basic commands and responds well to consistency and kindness. She enjoys her routine, relaxes when left alone, and likes occasional car rides. She's content with rawhides and dental chews, and her love for cooked chicken is unmatched, though treats are best offered with a closed hand.
Ideal Home
Raiya would thrive in a home that values a slower pace and offers a peaceful, caring environment. A fenced yard will help her feel secure.
Ongoing Health
Raiya is 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. Some of her medications can lead to increased thirst, more frequent urination, and occasional accidents, so patience and understanding are essential. Because she cannot safely receive certain vaccines, Raiya needs a home without other dogs.
Training & Support
Raiya is house-trained and knows simple commands like sit and come. While she hasn't had formal training, she responds well to consistency and kindness. Patience and understanding will be key as she navigates some of the side effects of her medication.
