Meet Riku #A2014257, a 1.2 year old, spayed female who is affectionate, looking for a job to do and her new BFF. It’s easy to adopt Riku!
Meet Riku
Gorgeous Riku is looking for her new BFF. Her ideal bestie would be someone that is active, is interested in giving her a job (search and rescue, agility or other dog sports) and can give her the calm leadership that she needs to become her best self. She was under socialized in her previous home and is insecure around new people and dogs. However, once she knows you, she’s affectionate and will look to her person for guidance.
