Meet Raiya! This elegant, eleven-year-old Terrier mix is a 46-pound gentle soul with a mostly black coat and a quiet kind of confidence. Raiya is happiest when she's close to her people, enjoying simple pleasures like peaceful walks, cozy naps, and the satisfying crunch of her favorite carrots. Her personality is steady and low-energy, making her a comforting presence for anyone who appreciates a slower pace of life. She's house-trained, friendly with strangers, and gentle with 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 daily routine, is content when left alone, and likes occasional car rides to see the world. She's motivated by rawhides, dental chews, and her unparalleled love for cooked chicken, though treats are best offered with a closed hand due to her eager snacking style.
Ideal Home
Raiya is looking for a compassionate family who can provide a peaceful, caring environment with a fenced yard to help her feel secure. She needs a home without other dogs, as some of her medications mean she cannot safely receive certain vaccines.
Ongoing Health
Raiya is being treated for an autoimmune condition that requires ongoing medication, regular veterinary care, and routine bloodwork. She also experiences recurring UTIs, occasional digestive upset, and arthritis that can affect her comfort and mobility. Some of her medications can increase thirst and urination, potentially leading to occasional accidents, so patience and understanding are key.
Training & Support
Raiya knows simple commands and responds well to consistency and kindness. Her owners should be prepared for potential accidents due to her medical condition and offer patience and understanding.
