She's not just looking for a couch to decorate (although we're fairly certain she'd look fabulous on one). She's looking for a family to grow up with!<br/><br/>At just three months old, Riva has so much ahead of her. First adventures. Favorite toys. New tricks. Ridiculous puppy shenanigans. And, most importantly, a lifetime of loving the people lucky enough to call her theirs.<br/><br/> The best part? Her whole story is still waiting to be written.<br/><br/>And wouldn't it be wonderful if YOU were her happily ever after?<br/><br/> More adorable pictures and updates coming soon as Riva settles into her foster home!<br/><br/> Riva 3 months old Border Collie Available for Adoption<br/><br/>Please share our sweet girl! Somewhere out there is a family who doesn't even know they're missing a little black fluffy shadow named Riva. <br/><br/>To adopt please use the link below for the application rather than the inquirty through Petfinder. <br/>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWwCUmLIZ6N68ag21eOxAW7sOQjxC6MriQQyb4OyyzVefn6Q/viewform
