🌊 Meet River, the stunning 1-3 year old female blue heeler mix, who is not just searching for a new home but a forever family that will understand her journey! 💖 After being a loving mom to a litter of seven puppies (who are all on their way to their happy endings), River is ready to embrace her new chapter in life — and she's going to need a little help getting there! Now, this girl is as lovable as they come, but there's a twist — she’s quite the protector of her home sweet home! 🏡 So, a bustling house where strangers pop in and out may not be her jam. She's looking for a quiet environment where she can feel safe and cherished. River has had a challenging past, living in a car with her previous owner and five other dogs, which is evident in the charming scars that dust her face. 💔 But this resilient spirit knows her worth and is eager to find the right companionship! With proper introductions, she can socialize with dogs, though she may need a little time to adjust, especially after saying goodbye to her little ones. Not only is River a smart cookie 🧠, but she's also got some tricks up her sleeve! She knows commands but will thrive with one-on-one obedience training. Oh, and did we mention she can be quite the escape artist? So, be prepared to create a secure environment for this clever girl! She’s also been good with foster kids, but it’s clear she has a soft spot for her male canine friends. 🐾 River deserves a home filled with love, attention, and exciting treat-based training, where she can blossom into the magnificent companion she's meant to be. This girl has been through so much, and all she really wants is a chance at happiness.
