A dog who is starting to discover "life is full of treats" is looking for a forever home.

Riley is a four-year-old greyhound in the care of the team at the Blue Cross rehoming centre in Wherstead.

He is described as a gentle and sensitive dog who is beginning to show his playful side.

The centre said: "At first, Riley can be a little nervous in new situations or around unfamiliar people but with patience and reassurance, he soon relaxes and enjoys company.

"Once he trusts you, his affectionate nature really shines through - he loves gentle fusses.

"Riley is beginning to explore toys and playtime, which is wonderful to see as his personality blossoms.

"He enjoys short bursts of racing around the garden and then loves nothing more than curling up for a well-earned nap."

According to the Blue Cross team, Riley can become excitable around other dog breeds due to a lack of social skills.

Riley is looking for a calm home where he can continue to build confidence and could potentially live with another dog and children.
