Riley – 7 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Homing Requirements: Riley needs his family, perhaps with other animals, who can offer him the tender loving care that caters for his special needs. This relates to his poor co-ordination exaggerated when initiating movements and getting going, but disappears once into the flow of his walk. His vision is also slightly impaired. NB We removed a non sinister lump off his side. Would love a secure garden as he so loves to play with his toys.
His Story: Riley was found tied to a bracken bush in graveyard late at night, away from public view. He went home overnight then served his 7 days in the council pound in case he was claimed. We were standing there waiting for him offering our safety blanket. Riley had a Christmas foster with kids and cat and then went into a foster family with a rabbit and cats in Eastbourne.

Advert: Riley is approx (?)8 years old, with special needs. He has mild uncoordination, slight visual impairment and his eyes need care. He has lots of spirit, character and walks like he is on a march! He adores meeting people, children and dogs with glee. He may need to be retained on an extender as you may not keep up with him in his determination to meet and greet and he moves through the gears accordingly! Riley is housetrained, only having had a few accidents more related to poor health at the time or upside down routine with upsetting changes. He loves children, small furries no problem and happily lives with cats.
Riley is a small, smart, little Staffie. He has a ready smile and will break into ‘Staffie chatter’ telling you all about his day or if concerned about an uncertain trip in the car. He has had a persistent cough since being with us, but it seems to be shifting now and his weepy eyes seem much better also. The condition he was left in tell a little of the poor level of care this sweet chap received in the past! All rests on his need for tender loving care and for him to know and be reassured that someone who loves him is there for him.
