Riva has recently claimed a cozy foster home, along with her equally adorable brother, Cortana.

Underneath all that fluff is a spirited puppy ready for endless fun and adventures. This clever girl needs a family who understands her need for mental stimulation and exercise typical of her breed. Riva wants to learn, play, and share her life with someone special. At just three months old, she’s full of potential—first adventures, favorite toys, new tricks, and goofy puppy antics await. Her story is just beginning, and she hopes you'll be part of her happily ever after. Share Riva's journey and help her find the loving family she's meant to be a part of.
