About River

River is a joyful 1-year-old Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix, weighing in at 14 pounds. This little guy is always on the lookout for new friends, whether they have two legs or four. With his sweet and friendly demeanor, he shines in social settings. River absolutely adores other dogs and has been known as a social butterfly, happily sharing his kennel with fellow canines at the shelter. He would thrive in a home with another playful pup but is perfectly content soaking up all the attention as your only companion. When it comes to kids, River is a sweetheart, getting along wonderfully with children of all ages. His foster describes him as a great dog who adapts well to various situations, including busy family gatherings. Though he is still fine-tuning his potty training, his affectionate personality makes him a pleasure to have around. River is the perfect size for any adventure—whether it's a stroll around the neighborhood, playtime, or snuggling on the couch. He needs a proactive home that will provide him with consistent stimulation and positive reinforcement training. River is neutered, fully vetted, healthy, and up to date on vaccinations. Farfel's Rescue offers a one-week trial with adoption, ensuring that both you and River feel comfortable with one another before making a lifelong commitment.
