Hello

🐾 Meet Riga
Riga was born in July 2025 and has recently arrived from Eastern Europe. She was rescued alongside her brother Trimi after being found in a terrible state, suffering from severe mange.
They were taken in by a wonderful English woman travelling in the area, who nursed them back to health and gave them the care, stability, and early experiences they needed to grow into the dogs they are today.
She has since entrusted them to us to find them the very best homes, as she is unable to keep them herself.

🧠 A Bright & Sensitive Mind
Riga is an incredibly intelligent and perceptive young dog, with a nature that is thoughtful, aware, and deeply intuitive. She is very tuned into her surroundings and highly responsive to the people around her.
She will need:
• Gentle, consistent training (following our method which we will go through with any prospective family)
• Mental stimulation
• Calm, clear guidance
She is the kind of dog who will flourish with the right handling, but she will need someone who understands how to support a more sensitive and intelligent temperament.

🌿 Her Ideal Life
Riga has grown up living a very outdoor, enriched lifestyle, and this is something we are keen to preserve for her.
Her perfect home would be:
• 🌲 Active and outdoorsy
• 🏡 With access to nature and space (not city-centre living)
• 🚶‍♀️ Focused on doing things with their dog — walks, exploration, shared experiences
She is a true adventurer — she loves exploring, especially around lakes, rivers, and open spaces, and will thrive in a home that embraces that lifestyle.

👤 The Right Owner
Riga will need a highly experienced and intuitive owner who understands how to work with a sensitive, intelligent dog.
In particular:
• She can be lead reactive, as she is sensitive and environmentally aware - we are looking for a family who will continue our work with her.
• She benefits from calm, structured handling
• She responds best to people who respect her space and communication
We are looking for:
• ✔️ Experienced dog

owners (essential)
• ✔️ Calm, patient and relaxed handlers
• ✔️ People who understand how to build trust and confidence without pressure
This placement will involve multiple visits, so that Riga and her future family can build trust and ensure the right match.

👶 Children & Environment
Given Riga’s nature:
• 🚫 We will not be placing her in a home with children
• 🏡 A calm, predictable environment will be important for her wellbeing

💛 Her Personality
Riga is a deeply intelligent and emotionally aware dog — the kind of dog where you genuinely feel like you can communicate with her. Her ability to think, observe, and problem-solve independently is remarkable, and living with her often feels less like “owning a dog” and more like sharing your life with a very perceptive companion.
She has a naturally independent side and enjoys her own space and freedom, but this is beautifully balanced by her affectionate nature. When she chooses connection, she is incredibly loving — and once she trusts you, that bond is very special.
She enjoys closeness on her terms, and her affection can be wonderfully endearing — from choosing to come in for a cuddle, to quietly settling beside you. (And, as we discovered, she is not above making herself very comfortable — often ending up tucked under the covers at night 😂)
When you approach her with respect, patience and understanding, she gives that trust back tenfold.
Alongside this, she has a playful, adventurous spirit — she loves other dogs, enjoys interaction, and brings a sense of curiosity and exploration into everything she does.
