Riley's Story

Happiness is golden

Riley (otherwise known as Smiley Riley) came into our lives in October 2016 and she has changed our world forever! We had never had our own dog before and after moving 3000 miles away, from England to the U.S. in 2014, we always felt something was missing. That something turned out to be the most precious golden retriever ever..


We can’t imagine a time before Riley! She’s the most friendly, vivacious & goofy dog you’ll ever meet. Most of all she’s loving and loyal, and we love her to the moon and back!


Her favourite treats are carrots, coconut oil & peanut butter. She loves to swim, meet new people and doggos! Everyone who meets Riley says how happy she is, we are truly blessed.

Charitable Organisations I support

Animal Advocacy is so important, speak for those who cannot speak for themselves!

Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue
