Meet Smiley Riley   'I salute you with my ears'   'You want paw'?   Smiley Riley doesn't do anything by halves    And we're pretty sure he was gearing up to give us all four paws at once, whether we wanted them or not!  Steady on there Smiley!  Smiley Riley is a verrrrrry friendly and exuberant fellow, and although he has enjoyed meeting and stepping out with a few of our steady Eddie calm residents, the staff feel he would prefer to be an 'only child' in his new household. He is known to be a bit of a lonesome wanderer around town, and the staff would prefer to find this handsome dude a home outside of the Newport area so he doesn't get the urge to go looking for his old haunts. Smiley knows how to sit nicely for treats, and is very gentle taking them from our hands  'Down' is a bit of a work in progress....  Smiley Riley was a very good boy when we put him through his paces! Time for some shennanigans!  Smiley Riley really is the happiest fellow we have met for a long time! He loves toys, balls, squeaky ones, squidgey soft ones, he's not choosey!   If you'd like to meet him pop up to Newport City Dogs Home! TEL 01633 290 902 between 11am - 1pm and 2pm - 4pm, on weekdays, 11am - 1pm and 2pm - 3.30pm on Saturday. Please note: the home is CLOSED on Sundays.  Rehoming fees are from £120 depending on the age/breed of the dog, and include 1st vaccination, flea & worm treatment and neutering. |

I met Riley today for the first time and he was so excited to get out and have a sniff about in the sunshine. I didn't manage to take any pictures of him as he was too busy sniffing everything in sight and charging around the place as he was so happy to be out of kennels. He does get excited and pulls on the lead when he sees another dog as he's just so excited to see them and wants to go and play with them. As it was so hot today we didn't have the longest of walks but he did walk well on the lead next to me and was happy for me to give him a cuddle and tickle his tummy!  Hopefully next time Riley and I will go on a long walk where we aren't both dying of heat exhaustion!!  |

I got to walk the lovely Smiley Riley this morning. He was an absolute pleasure to take out for a walk, he didn't pull on the lead, he was very well behaved and very obedient. He loves a cuddle and is full of beans as he is excited to be out walking. Wonderful dog and would make a lovely pet. Smiley Riley gets you smiling |

Hi Sue. I am one of the volunteer dog walkers at Newport City kennels and since Riley came in I have had the absolute pleasure of walking him every week. To say he has become one of my faves is an understatement. He is such a beautiful boy who responds well to commands and needs very little encouragement to roll around in the grass for fun! I admit I was felt a little choked on hearing he would be leaving but my heart is swelling with happiness for him. You and your partner are so very lucky to be sharing your lives with Smiley Riley 🐶😍

I saw Riley on the weekend and he had us all laughing at him playing in the pool and keeping himself nice and cool in the heat, it really was a delight to see him looking so happy and having so much fun! Fingers crossed it all works out for you Smiley Riley you are a special boy! 😊

What can we say-we absolutely fell in love with Riley’s handsome face! He had a first good night and is absolutely loving all the fuss and attention. He’s a gentle, well behaved, super affectionate bundle of energy (but he does love his cuddles). We will send across a few pics after he’s had a few more days to settle in😊
