Meet River

River (1 1/2 years old) is a boy with LOTS of personality. Watch this boys video - he's amazing. He has some special needs due to congenital and lack of care early in life, but that doesn't slow this boy down at all! River had both of his elbow surgically repaired and he has recovered and doing very well and not having any more pain. He has a back straight leg that is likely due to a break in the leg that was left to heal without any surgical intervention and it healed straight. Don't let this all scare you as this boy has lots of energy and can hold his own with other dogs playing. He LOVES playing with other dogs. He can go on walks, but he won't be a running partner, agility dog or strenuous hiking partner. He would be best not in a home with LOTS of stairs but is does well with one or two and of course a ramp. River is in foster with LOTS of other dogs and a cat!

River would love to find a great forever home of his own. If you can give River an indoor forever home, please fill out our online application on our website at http://www.savingpawsrescueaz.com/adoption-form/

We will only schedule meet and greets with an approved application. We are an all-volunteer organization. It may take a couple of days to process an application and complete reference checks.

Thank you for your interest in saving the life of a dog.
