Meet Raiya! This eleven-year-old Terrier mix is a gentle soul with a quiet elegance. At 46 pounds, she's a calm and confident companion who thrives on being close to her people. Raiya finds joy in simple things like peaceful walks, cozy naps, and the satisfying crunch of a carrot. Her steady, low-energy personality makes her a comforting presence, perfect for a home that appreciates a slower pace of life. She's house-trained, friendly with strangers, and gentle with young children, especially when her quieter nature is respected. Raiya will happily announce visitors with her voice, adding a touch of watchful charm to her laid-back demeanor. She knows basic commands like "sit" and "come" and responds well to consistency and kindness. Raiya enjoys her routine, relaxes when left alone, and likes occasional car rides. She loves rawhides and dental chews, and her favorite treat is cooked chicken, though it's best offered with a closed hand due to her eager snacking!
