22-019 Riley is a one-year-old, unneutered, purebred Golden. His owner recently divorced and had to move into an apartment, which was not the best situation for energetic Riley. When our transporter picked him up, she described him as “a gorgeous blur of Golden fur, very friendly to a fault.” Riley needed all our standard vet work: vaccines, tests for heartworm and valley fever and to be neutered. When the transporter collected him from one of our partner veterinarians to transport him to an adoptive couple, she noted that Riley peed on the counter in the reception area and he reportedly peed in his kennel there, too – so, the owner’s report of him being house broken was greatly exaggerated. He had so much energy and loved to swim – our Placement Team found the perfect home for him. They had another dog, Benny, for him to play with and a pool. They changed Riley's name to Beans (for jumping beans). The adopters wisely put Beans in training while they left the area for 4 weeks to get married and they generously took care of all his vet needs after he was moved to their home. They recently sent us this message:

Since adopting Beans 3 months ago he has changed our lives. He loves to chase the bunnies in the morning and go for a swim. He loves to get the squeaker out of every toy and steal his older brother Benny’s tennis ball. He’s got an obsession with his stuffed pizza toy right now and refuses to tear it apart (he must love pizza just like his dad). He has endless energy that rubs off on anyone that comes into contact with him. He’s the sweetest boy, and there isn’t a hug or pet that he won’t try to weasel his way into. We couldn’t be happier to add Beans into our family and can’t wait to see what he’ll do next.
