River is an energetic, friendly, short-hair shepherd mix. She loves to play and especially loves toys. Whether its tug-of-war or playing in a sprinkler, she wants to do it all! River lives with a cat at her foster home, but sometimes needs to be reminded to play gently. While she loves doggie play-dates on neutral ground and going to the dog park, River has a hard time sharing things at home and needs to be the only dog. She is afraid of loud noises like the vacuum and fireworks. But River is adventurous! She loves long car rides and going out, making her a great walking and hiking buddy. While she loves a healthy snack like fruits and veggies, especially the bottom end of a head of lettuce, she does have a sensitive tummy to be aware of if you switch her dog food. River is a dog who wants to live life beside you, from boogying on the dance floor to snuggling in bed at night. Increasingly, we are doing FOSTER TO ADOPT options! That’s where you and puppers make sure you’re a good fit for one another before signing on “the dotted line”….. it’s a win-win for everyone! Just ask your adoption counselor about how this works.
