Meet River! If you're looking for a happy, playful pup to add excitement and love to your life, River may be your perfect match! This adorable black Labrador Retriever mix is full of fun energy and would thrive with an active family or another playful dog who's ready for a best friend. River loves to romp and wrestle with the resident dogs in his foster home and is always ready for his next adventure. He is happiest when he gets to be part of the action. But don't let his playful side fool you, River also has a sweet, calm side. After some playtime, he settles in beautifully and is content to nap at his foster mom's feet while she works. He knows how to balance fun with relaxation like a pro. River is doing wonderfully with crate training. He sleeps through the night quietly with no accidents and does well in his crate for short periods during the day, especially after he's had time to burn off some puppy energy first. He's very attentive on leash, eager to connect with his person, and loves to learn. River is still a puppy and figuring out house rules, but he catches on quickly and is highly motivated by treats and praise. With continued guidance, he's going to grow into an incredible family dog. River adores people, loves other dogs, and has all the makings of a loyal, loving companion. If you're ready for a smart, affectionate pup who can keep up on adventures and cuddle afterward, River is waiting to meet you!
