About Riley & Sissy
Please meet RILEY and SISSY, a bonded pair looking for their forever home.
Riley is a pure bred dachshund male, born on 27 January 2019. Very cuddly and sweet-tempered, he's a true blue, honest little man. What you see is what you get with Riley. He's loyal and looks you straight in the eye, as if he knows exactly what you're thinking.
A highly intelligent little dog, Riley has completed a three-day formal obedience training course and passed with flying colours. He is very well-mannered, walks comfortably on a lead, is crate-trained and house-trained, and has excellent recall.
With his classic black and tan coat, he is a handsome little dog and weighs about 7 kgs.
Riley's best mate, Sissy, is a Dachshund x Border Collie female, born on 28 October 2016. She has a jet black coat with a tiny flash of white on her chest and she weighs about 8 kgs.
With her petite stature and small frame, she's more dachshund than BC in appearance, but the BC shines through in her behaviour. She loves playing ball and is fit, robust and very energetic. She absolutely loves kids, especially when they play ball with her.
Sissy enjoys a good cuddle and loves to sit on your lap. Given the chance, she's more than happy to sleep in your bed at night.
Like Riley, Sissy is well-mannered, walks comfortably on a lead, is crate-trained and house-trained, and has excellent recall.
Both are happy and well-adjusted dogs and were very reluctantly surrendered to us by their loving owner due to a change in circumstances and through no fault of their own.
They are dog-friendly and have been successfully exposed to horses, chickens, sheep and a cat.
Applicants must commit to Riley and Sissy remaining together. They are strongly bonded, are constant companions and sleep together every night.
They live in Warwick, Queensland. We will not ship them interstate, sight unseen.
Both are desexed, microchipped and vaccinated and their joint adoption fee is $2,000.
As always, secure fencing is essential.
If you are interested in meeting Riley and Sissy, the first step is to complete our online application form at https://southerndownsark.com.au/apply-to-adopt/ Please ensure you include photos of your yard and fencing.
