✨ Meet River, the dazzling darling who’s ready to steal your heart! At just 3 years old, this stunning sweetheart has a brilliant coat that practically shines under the sun. 🌞 Once on the edge of despair as she sat on the city shelter’s euthanasia list, River has been rescued and is now thriving in her foster home. Can you believe how far she’s come? She’s a quintessential example that every dog deserves a second chance at life. This lovable girl was surrendered to the shelter by a family who had two kids and another dog, and while we may not know all the details of her past, we know one thing for sure—she is bursting with love to share! ❤️ When River first arrived, she was a bit shy and scared. But oh, how the tide has turned! Now, she’s a brave, cuddly companion who’ll melt your heart. Whether it’s trailing softly on the couch beside you or hopping right into your lap for a loving gaze, River’s affection is something you simply can’t resist. She adores cuddle time and even revels in dressing up! (That might just be her foster mom’s influence, 😂 but who can blame her?) Get ready to witness a playful side as River loves to engage in tug-of-war or play fetch with her toys. She’s even catching on to the art of retrieving the ball! And did you know? This smart girl has mastered basic commands like ‘sit,’ ‘stay,’ and ‘paw.’ She’s always eager to learn new tricks to please her humans. 🧠 Currently perfecting her leash training, River dreams of peaceful strolls through quiet neighborhoods and loves exploring her fenced backyard, where she often observes nature’s little wonders—like deer, chipmunks, and squirrels. 🦌 She might even have aspirations of catching one, but let’s keep it light-hearted, shall we? River is also crate trained, showing off her calm demeanor during nap time. And guess what? She’s house-trained and a low-shedder—yes, you can wear those black pants without fear! 🖤 This lovely girl is seeking her forever home, where she can shower you with big love every single day. River currently lives with an older beagle sister and knows how to be respectful and patient, which means she could fit seamlessly into your family—whether as a single pup or alongside other faithful companions, including cats and older kids. At a healthy 60 lbs, she is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, ready to make your home complete! Foster-to-adopt options are available.
