River #22's Story

Meet River #22 – a sweet, beautiful girl ready to find her forever home. River is just one year old and weighs about 45 pounds. She is incredibly sweet, smart, and playful, and she is discovering her new world with lots of curiosity and enthusiasm. River is both house-trained and crate-trained, and she walks very nicely on a leash. She loves to run and play in a fenced yard, where she can stretch her legs and enjoy being a carefree puppy. She is friendly with both people and other dogs, and her strong food motivation makes training a breeze. River truly wants to learn and to please, and she absolutely adores being fussed over and loved on.<br/><br/>As a young dog, River still has that joyful puppy energy. She would thrive in a home with another playful dog and a securely fenced yard where she can safely run and explore. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and fun companion to grow with your family, River may be the perfect match for you. As a side note her foster mom has "clicker" trained her and she responds very well to it.<br/><br/>QUESTIONS: For additional information about River #22 please email Ann<br/>Hilchey: ann.hilchey@labs4rescue.org<br/><br/>River #22 is being fostered in Connecticut.<br/><br/>HOW TO ADOPT: The fastest way to start is to submit an adoption application directly (labs4rescue.com/adopt).
