Oh, let me introduce you to River! This gentle giant was rescued from the brink of a terrible fate after the loss of his beloved owner. Yes, you heard that right—there was a time when this lovely boy faced euthanasia simply because there wasn't enough space at the shelter. But, just like a fairy tale, a caring foster stepped forward and brought River into her heart and home! 💖 With a heart as big as his stature, River is a delightful companion. At just 10 months old and weighing in at a cozy 80 pounds, he’s a magnificent Belgian Shepherd mix, and he’s already full grown. That’s right—no more growing pains for this big boy! He’s completed all of his veterinary care and is ready to find a family that will shower him with love for the rest of his days. Now let’s talk personality! River loves to snuggle up and is known to be wonderful with young children. His past life included a 5-year-old, so he’s got those little ones down pat! With that extraordinary spirit, he’s well-mannered, knows how to sit on command, and is fully house trained, leash trained, and crate trained! This is a dog who can bring joy and comfort to the entire family. 🐾 But that’s not all—his friendly nature shines through in his interactions with other dogs of any age and size. Yes, River is all about spreading kindness and good vibes. And he’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Can you believe that? This incredible dog is ready for a loving home! ❤️ River can arrive in Washington soon, and let me tell you, every moment counts.
