About River
River was once WTOP's Pet of the Week, and it's easy to see why. This smart and well-mannered boy has settled into his foster home effortlessly. He's fully housetrained and enjoys a good night's sleep, often keeping close to his people—following them around, napping by their side, or joining in on outdoor adventures. If you're looking for an active companion, River is your guy. He loves to play fetch and has a knack for frisbee, readily returning his toys and dropping them on command. His pleasant demeanor extends to walks, where he leashes beautifully and responds to gentle guidance. River’s already well-trained, knowing commands like sit, down, shake, come, and get your toy, and he thrives on calm and confident interaction. River is friendly and enjoys meeting new people, often happily accepting pets from neighbors. He revels in chin scratches, neck rubs, and belly rubs. Though he has shown interest in other dogs while walking, he’s easily redirected. At the shelter, he’s participated in several great playdates, showcasing his dog-friendly nature.
