About River

Meet River! This young German Shepherd mix is a fantastic foster pup with a personality that lights up the room. He gets along beautifully with everyone in the household, including a playful cat named Sonny, who thinks he's a dog. River enjoys spirited playtime with three Shepherds, engaging in wrestling, tug-of-war, and racing for toys. His talents are impressive; he can carry a tennis ball along with his favorite stuffed animal! Fully potty and crate trained, River easily kennel-ups for meals and bedtime. He loves to cuddle on the couch, and as he’s learning that humans are for leaning on, he welcomes belly rubs and head scratches. River is looking for a loving forever home. Ready to fall in love?
