Meet River – the big-hearted shepherd mix with an even bigger personality! 🐾
River is a 1.5-year-old, 72 lb white shepherd mix who is fully vetted and ready to find his forever family. This handsome boy is a wonderful blend of confidence, charm, and cuddles – a gentle giant who thinks he’s a lapdog!
River is great with everyone – dogs, kids, adults, and even cats (though we’ve had to say, “spit the cat out” more than we expected… in the most playful way!). He has a medium energy level, is house, leash, and crate trained, and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can run, play, and lounge in the sunshine.
He’s incredibly smart, obedient, playful, and eager to please. He rides great in the car, loves adventures, and enjoys snuggling just as much as being active. Whether you’re looking for a walking buddy, co-pilot, or couch companion, River checks all the boxes.
River was found abandoned on the side of the road with a litter of puppies, and though he’s come a long way, he still has a bit of separation anxiety and would do best in a home where he gets the love, patience, and presence he deserves.
If you're looking for the perfect mix of loyalty, fun, and affection, River is your guy. 💙
Apply to adopt River today and let him steal your heart – and maybe your seat on the couch.

We are foster based so there isn't one specific facility to visit our adoptables. Occasionally we have adoption events at Tractor Supply, 13641 Hwy 110, Tyler, TX 75703.
The fosters / volunteers are happy to facilitate meet and greets for potential adopters.
