About Rivvie

Meet Rivvie, a charming Shepherd mix with a heart full of love. Born around January 1, 2026, she is expected to reach about 45-50 pounds. After graduating with honors from 'Puppy Progress University,' Rivvie has transformed from a timid pup into a playful and affectionate companion. One of Rivvie’s cutest quirks is her big, toothy grin when her foster mom comes home, a delightful way of saying, “I missed you!” She's an explorer in the yard, curious about butterflies and beetles, and shows a gentle interest in the resident cats. Rivvie is also proud of being house-trained and can be left alone without issues. While she may need a gentle nudge to start walks, once on the move, she excels in loose-leash walking. Rivvie enjoys the company of other dogs, is great with children, and is polite with cats. Her energy level is nicely balanced for a young dog, making her a fantastic addition to many families.
