River's Story

Hey there! I&#39;m River , a friendly 4-year-old mix of Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) and Huskycoming straight from Chatham, VA. I have this gorgeous blue-black coat and stunning blue eyes that make me look like I&#39;m ready to conquer the world (or maybe just a tennis ball, but who&#39;s counting?). I&#39;m a Sagittarius , so I&#39;m all about adventure, curiosity, and a little bit of mischief. I weigh in at a lean 45 pounds, and I&#39;m definitely all muscle under this pretty fur.<br/><br/>I&#39;ll tell you something about me As a Cattledog-Husky mix, I have the energy and drive to match, but once I&#39;m done zooming around, I&#39;m pretty chill. I have a bit of a rough-and-tumble streak, thoughone time, I had a little tussle with my sister during dinner (don&#39;t worry, we&#39;re both fine, and it was her fault!). Now I have this adorable little droop in the corner of my right eye. It&#39;s really no big dealjust sibling rivalry, you know?<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been really good about not causing any trouble when it comes to food, but here&#39;s the thing: I&#39;m a foodie. I just love it so much! Although, you know... I&#39;m a dog...so it&#39;s kinda our deal, ya know? Anyhoo, just make sure to feed all of the animals in your home separately and there should be no issues!<br/><br/>When it comes to people, I can be a little timid at first, but I love to stick close and get all the attention. Sometimes I&#39;ll even sneak off during meal times and wait until everyone&#39;s done before I come back out. I&#39;m super sweet and gentle when it comes to taking treats (I mean, who doesn&#39;t love a snack, right?). I&#39;m really well house-trained , and I get along with other dogs just fineI even play and share with them like a champ! <br/><br/>I think a home with kids would be fine with me. As long as they give me space and take my cues, we&#39;ll get along just dandy. Since I can be a little shy at first, kids with a ton of energy and no real spatial awareness wouldn&#39;t be super fun for me. So maybe older kids and/or kids who know how to interact with dogs...that would be the best scenario. I like to spend time with other dogs. My foster mom took me over to her parents&#39; house, and I even did well with their cat!<br/><br/>I will say, I am a bit of an acrobat and a sprinter in one medium-sized furry pup body. I LOVE to climb and jump fences and once I do, just blink your eyes and I&#39;m gone! So my people will definitely have to make sure their home is escape-proof because if not, see ya...wouldn&#39;t wanna be ya!!<br/><br/>So that&#39;s me in a nutshell: a beautiful, adventurous, sometimes goofy girl who&#39;s a little bit shy, definitely athletic, but most important of all, I&#39;m always ready to love. Looking forward to sharing my journey with you!
