Introducing the delightful River! 🐕 This 5-year-old Malinois is living proof that you can’t judge a dog by its breed stereotype! River is here to redefine your expectations—he’s not just high energy, he’s a cupcake of a companion! 🎂 Located in Greeneville, Tennessee, he’s ready to find his forever family and can be transported to you! 💖 River’s backstory is as heartwarming as he is. After the heartbreaking loss of his previous owner, kind neighbors stepped in to care for him, but they needed some help. That’s where the amazing folks at IDGSR came to rescue! Now, this loving boy is in the best foster home, eagerly waiting for someone special to adopt him. This charming boy has a personality that can light up a room! He loves greeting new people with affection—think hugs and kisses rather than jumping in excited frenzy! 🤗 In fact, River’s gentle and loving nature makes him unicorn-status among Malinois. He adores kids and is fantastic around little ones, so if you have kiddos at home, get ready to witness the magic of friendship blossom! 🌈 River is smart, too! He’s already got several commands under his belt, but a little obedience refresher wouldn’t hurt—just to polish those skills. If you're looking for a handsome, friendly, affectionate companion who will truly become part of the family, River is your guy! But remember, serious applicants only! If you’re not 100% ready to welcome River into your life, it might be best to hold off for now. He deserves someone fully committed to showering him with love! ❤️ **IMPORTANT ADOPTION INFORMATION:** - River is fostered in Tennessee; however, he can be transported to his new home! - He’s up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm testing, monthly preventatives, and is neutered. - You must submit an application through the Buddy App before scheduling a meet-and-greet—this is key to bringing River into your life! - Dogs are introduced to potential adopters only by appointment, so let’s get that application in!
