Meet River! This handsome 9-year-old Cattle Dog is the perfect blend of maturity and classic working-dog spirit. True to his breed, River is observant, intelligent, and loves having something to focus on. Whether it’s exploring the yard, going for a purposeful walk, or learning for a tasty reward, he enjoys staying engaged with his person and his surroundings. River is especially motivated by treats — they’re the quickest way to his heart! He’s attentive and eager when food is involved, which makes building a bond with him both fun and rewarding. He’s looking for a home that understands and appreciates his thoughtful nature. River does best with people who move at his pace, give him a little space when he asks for it, and communicate clearly and kindly. When he feels respected and secure, his loyal and devoted personality truly shines. With a steady, patient family who values connection and positive reinforcement, River has so much to offer. He’s ready for a home where he can stretch his legs, use his sharp mind, enjoy his favorite treats, and settle into the deep companionship that makes senior cattle dogs so special. If you’re looking for a smart, devoted partner to share your days, River may be your guy! If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. _______________ The Pennsylvania SPCA 350 E Erie Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19134 Kennel #3079
