Meet Raiya! This elegant 11-year-old Terrier mix, weighing 46 pounds, is a gentle soul with a mostly black coat that exudes a quiet charm. She thrives on being close to her people, finding joy in simple moments like leisurely walks, cozy naps, or the delightful crunch of her favorite carrots. Raiya's steady, low-energy personality makes her a comforting presence for those who appreciate a more relaxed pace of life. She's house-trained, friendly to strangers, and wonderfully gentle with young children, especially in environments that honor her calm nature. While she'll happily announce visitors with her voice, her laid-back demeanor remains her signature. Raiya knows basic commands like "sit" and "come," and with her receptive nature, she thrives with consistent, kind guidance. Her routine includes two meals a day, she tolerates being left alone, and enjoys occasional car rides. Rawhide and dental chews are favorites, and she adores cooked chicken, though treats are best offered with a closed hand due to her enthusiastic snacking.
Ideal Home
Raiya is looking for a peaceful and caring environment with a fenced yard to help her feel secure. She needs a home where her quieter nature is respected and where she can remain a constant companion, offering loyalty and warmth.

She also experiences recurring UTIs, occasional digestive upset, and arthritis that can affect her comfort and mobility. Some of her medications may cause increased thirst and more frequent urination, so patience and understanding are key.
Training & Support
Raiya is house-trained and responds well to consistency and kindness. While she hasn't had formal training classes, she knows basic commands. Due to her medical needs, she will need continued patience and understanding, especially regarding potential accidents.
