River

My story

Hi my name is River (You can see the blue in my eyes) and I am around 3 years old. I come from California, one of many who lost their forever families. But I am a VERY well trained pooch. My foster mom says so. I can sit, place, break, potty (either by normal door or dog door), shake and stay...well mostly stay. We are working on that. My foster mom says that I am wicked smart, and I agree with her. Every time she teaches me something new, it takes less than 3 whole days and she is pretty sure I could learn agility training in my sleep. I have had a bit of a rough life for a while, but am looking for my forever family. I am incredibly affectionate and loyal and really want my home to be about me with no other pets or children, although I don`t mind them in general. I love walks, balls, staring for HOURS watching squirrels do squirrel things and being next to and getting scritches from you! I like meeting new people and smelling all the smells, especially on walks. Since it`s been a hard road, change can be a bit discombobulating and sometimes I feel nervous, but that goes away with treats, consistency, stability and most of all love. If you think I sound like the right dog for you, let my foster mom know. She wants me to have an amazing life, because I am amazing! I am fully vetted: 70 pounds, neutered and microchipped. To meet me fill out the application on OFOSA.ORG and my Foster mom will be in touch. NO APARTMENT life for me and must have a secure fenced yard. My adoption fee is $320 ($340 as of 4/15/2025)

If you have any questions or would like to adopt River, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
