About River

Meet River. This 3-year-old mixed-breed boy is learning to navigate his new life after being rescued from Seminole County. He possesses a gentle and quiet demeanor but is still working on trusting humans, having spent much of his early life as a stray. River is skittish and under-socialized, coming from a background with minimal human interaction. While he’s shown no aggression, he needs a patient home that understands his need for space and gentle encouragement. River would thrive in an adult-only home or one with older, calm children who can respect his boundaries. He’s still learning to walk confidently on a leash, and positive reinforcement during walks will help him build confidence. With his low energy level, he could do well in an apartment or condo setting. Although he may be house-trained, new environments might initially confuse him, requiring some patience and guidance to help him adjust. If you're looking for a peaceful companion who requires a gentle touch, River could be the perfect match. Watching him grow and learn to trust will be a rewarding experience.
