Meet Raiya! She's an eleven-year-old Terrier mix with a gentle soul and an elegant, mostly black coat that instantly puts hearts at ease. At 46 pounds, this sweet senior girl carries herself with a calm confidence, happiest when she's close to her people, sharing in the simple joys of everyday life. Raiya is the kind of companion who turns ordinary moments into something special, whether it's a peaceful walk, a cozy nap nearby, or the satisfying crunch of one of her beloved carrots! Her personality is beautifully steady and low energy, making her a comforting presence. Raiya is house-trained, friendly with strangers, and gentle with young children, especially in environments where her quieter nature is respected. When someone arrives, she'll happily announce it with her voice, adding a touch of watchful charm to her laid-back demeanor. Raiya knows simple commands like sit and come, and while she hasn't had formal training classes, she responds well to consistency and kindness. She enjoys her daily routine of two meals, relaxing when left alone, and occasional car rides where she can take in the world at her own pace.
Ideal Home

Ongoing Health
Raiya is being treated for an autoimmune condition that requires medication, regular veterinary care, and routine bloodwork. She also has recurring UTIs, occasional digestive upset, and arthritis that can affect her comfort and mobility. Some of her medications can also cause increased thirst and more frequent urination, leading to occasional accidents.
Training & Support
Raiya knows simple commands like sit and come. She responds well to consistency and kindness. Patience and understanding will be needed due to potential accidents caused by her medications.
