Meet River Run, a resilient soul who has triumphed over a past no dog should ever endure. Rescued from a heartbreaking situation in Mississippi, where he was neglected and shackled, this gentle spirit has retained his sweet demeanor despite the trauma. 🌟 Now safe and sound, River is seeking a loving, calm environment where he can slowly learn the joys of a family – a place where he can take his time to trust and truly feel cherished. Once River opens his heart, he's as gentle and affectionate as they come! ❤️ Imagine him by your side, settling into your home with cautious curiosity, ready to discover that love isn't just a word but a soothing embrace that heals wounds. He needs a special, patient human, preferably in an adult-only home, to help guide him towards the happiness he truly deserves. River Run is just waiting for his forever family to show him that love is nothing to fear. With your compassion, he can finally understand the warmth of a reliable bond. He has never known what it means to be part of a caring family, but with someone like you, he’ll learn that love doesn't hurt, it heals! ✨ Each pup, including River, will be altered, microchipped, and given age-appropriate vaccines before adoption. River's transport options are flexible, being available within 6 hours of NYC! So, don’t let distance weigh you down in this quest for love! 🌍 If you're ready to welcome River Run into your life, please apply to adopt or foster through the Buddy App today. This is River’s moment – let’s make it happen together! 💖
