About River Roo

Meet River Roo! This charming 2-year-old Black Lab and German Shepherd mix weighs about 75 pounds and is currently out of state, but will soon be making his way to New England at no extra cost to you. As a former stray from Tennessee, River has found his way into the spotlight — rumor has it, he’s even been spotted by a casting agent for a new Bond film! Beyond his movie star looks, River has been honing his skills and manners. He knows commands like "sit, stay, come, and down," and is as smart as they come. This delightful boy thrives in an active home where he can jog, hike, or swim. River enjoys playing tug of war and gets along well with other dogs, making him a fantastic companion for someone who loves the outdoors. While he's great with dogs and has lived with cats, families with older children would be best suited for him due to his size. River is crate trained, house trained, and knows when it’s time to go out — he’ll bark at the door to let you know. All dogs are spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations at the time of adoption. You’ll need to fill out an application to adopt River and can do so by visiting the Great Dog Rescue New England website. He’s ready to bring joy into a loving home! Make their next chapter their best one yet.
