RIVER's Story

River (A564808) is a sweet, lovable guy who seems to make friends everywhere he goes. He has an easygoing, happy personality and truly enjoys being around people and soaking up attention. When River arrived, he had some hair loss along his lower back, likely from a flea allergy. Thanks to our medical team, he’s been treated and his fur is already growing back beautifully. He’s feeling good and it shows in his bright attitude. River loves getting outside to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air, but his absolute favorite thing in the world is treats. Any treat. All the treats. He doesn’t know any commands just yet, but he is extremely food motivated and would likely pick up training quickly. He walks well on a leash and has been tested with female dogs, where he showed that he enjoys playing and socializing with other pups. If you’re looking for a friendly, treat loving companion who’s ready to learn and eager to be someone’s best friend, River is waiting to meet you River is guesstimated to be 2 years old and weighs 62 lbs.
