Introducing Riley: 
A Bundle of Joy Riley is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, and at just 2 years old, he still exhibits the playful exuberance of a puppy. The family has had a long-standing affection for this breed, having owned seven Wheatens over the past 30 years. Known for their funny, loving, and stubborn personalities, Wheatens bring a lot of joy and character into the household. Riley, true to his breed, is no exception.

Riley joined the family nearly two years ago, coming from a reputable breeder in Columbus. From the moment he arrived, he filled the home with energy and love, quickly becoming an irreplaceable member of the family.

Unique Traits and Playful Spirit

His adventurous spirit and watchful nature make him a charming guardian to his sisters, both human and canine. His love for adventure keeps everyone on their toes, and his antics never fail to bring smiles.

Toys Galore and Favorite Hangouts

His favorite pastimes include exploring the neighborhood, particularly enjoying walks around the Village. Riley loves looking at the horses and posing for pictures on the bridge, creating memorable moments with his family.

Local Adventures 
Riley is also a fan of the local Metroparks, where he gets to indulge his love for nature and exercise. These outings are a highlight, allowing him to explore new scents, sights, and sounds, and perhaps make a few new friends along the way.
