Meet Ria — our delicate, soulful sighthound who is quietly waiting for someone to see her, not just her fears.
At the centre, Ria can seem distant and unsure. New people feel overwhelming, and she protects her heart by keeping it guarded. We don’t know what she has been through before coming to us, but it’s clear that life hasn’t always been kind to her. Somewhere along the way, she learned that the world can feel scary.
But that is not the whole of who she is.
Beneath the worry is a gentle, playful, beautifully spirited girl who longs to feel safe. Ria doesn’t give her trust easily — she offers it slowly, in tiny, brave steps. And when she chooses you, when she finally lets her walls soften, it feels like the greatest gift.
Once she feels secure, her true personality shines so brightly. She becomes joyful, cheeky, and full of life. She loves to run — fast and free — embracing her sighthound spirit with pure happiness. She adores playful canine friends and could live with another dog who matches her speedy, lively play style. Having the right dog by her side could help her confidence continue to grow.
Ria doesn’t need perfection. She doesn’t need grand gestures.
She just needs patience.
She needs kindness.
She needs someone who will sit quietly beside her and let her learn that she is finally safe.
In return, she will give you something incredibly special — a bond built on trust, resilience, and love that feels deeply earned.
