Meet River! 🌊 This young, energetic mix is not just a pretty face; he's a brilliant buddy who's housebroken, crate trained, and driven by the delicious lure of food! This guy is approximately one year old, a prime time for learning and growing. In his foster home, he’s been working hard on his leash skills and already knows several basic commands. 🐕💨 Can you imagine the joy of bringing this clever boy into your life? River would thrive in a home with a single young adult or a couple without kids, where his new family can continue to build on the excellent foundation created by his foster family. 🎉 It's clear that this smart pup has so much potential, and he just can't wait to start new adventures with you! Now, a few things River dreams of for his forever home: - A dog buddy his size who’ll play with him and teach him the ropes of canine social skills. His foster home has older, smaller pups, and he just wants to let loose and have fun! 🐾 - A fenced-in yard! Just picture River zooming around and playing fetch. He’s never tried to escape, but a 6-foot fence is recommended for his adventurous spirit. Who knows? Maybe agility training is next for this bouncing bundle of joy! 🏃‍♂️ - No small kids, please! Although he’s been around little ones (even kids as young as 4), he still has that puppy enthusiasm and can be a bit unpredictable with his size and strength. He just doesn’t realize how powerful he can be! - And of course, he’s a chewing enthusiast! Lots of durable toys like Kongs and Benebones are needed. He loves to chew on toys, but he's great at sticking to what he's allowed! Though stuffed animals with squeakers seem to be a blast, they might not last very long! 🧸 Let’s face it, River is an affectionate companion ready to embark on life’s adventures with someone special! If you feel like you can provide the love, space, and fun he needs, why wait? Apply to adopt River through the Buddy App today! 🐾✨
