Hello!

I am super excited to come to work every day at Riley Subaru! I was born in Florida on November 26, 2018 and moved to Dubuque on December 21, 2020. It was my first sighting of snow, which made sniffing around the yard a little difficult. But I soon found out how fun it was to chase tennis balls in the snow!

My life started out as a pup with high hopes of becoming a highly specialized service dog by way of Southeastern Guide Dogs based in Palmetto, Florida. It is a non-profit organization that selectively breeds and expertly trains dogs like me to be guide and service animals. The best part is that my friends and I are matched with people who have vision loss and veterans with PTSD and other disabilities, at no cost to the recipient who needs our service and companionship.

After a 2-year training period, I decided that I did not like my harness enough to wear it all the time, so I was placed for adoption. And that is when the Riley's picked me up and drove me all the way home from Florida to Dubuque in a Subaru - what else!

I'll be sure to say hello to you when you are here. Feel free to pet me or rub my ears. I love meeting new people and showing off my dog toys.

P.S. If you are not comfortable with me wandering around and laying at your feet, please let a staff member know and I will hang out in the back office.
