My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet River! She is about 1-1/2 years old, a maltese/poodle mix. She only weighs 8 lbs and should weigh 12 lbs to be at a healthy weight. She was so severely matted when we took her in, she had to be shaved down completely.

Her owner passed away and the other family members could not take care of her. She has a very sweet personality and will bond quickly. She seems good around other dogs but never lived with another dog so we don't know if she would engage in play.

She apparently wasn't groomed much as she is sensitive around her ears, eyes, muzzle and feet. This will improve with time and patience in handling her. She is not house trained yet but we are working on that as well. It seems she was never walked either so we are doing some leash training with her.

She just needs someone to be patient and loving and really needs to find her forever home:-)
If you are interested in River, please complete the on-line application as she does not always attend the weekly PETCO adoption event on Saturdays. You can contact us for more information at: www.adoptmerescue@gmail.org.
