Riven is a striking brindle-and-black boy who’s about a year old, and these days he’s stepping into the world with a whole new level of confidence. The timid dog he once was is largely behind him. Now we see a happy, affectionate pup who is ready to be part of the action and fully enjoy life.
Let’s start with what Riven loves most: other dogs. If there’s a playmate nearby, Riven is all in. He lights up during playtime, thrives on the companionship, and would do best in a home with a friendly resident dog who’s ready to wrestle, romp, and show him the ropes. Think built-in best friend energy.
Riven is a total sweetheart with a gentle nature and a loving personality. He enjoys attention, bonds closely with his people, and is very treat-motivated, which makes him a wonderful candidate for continued learning. While he may still need a little patience as he experiences new things, he approaches life with growing curiosity rather than fear.
What Riven really needs now is a home ready to keep his momentum going. A family that will guide him, include him, play with him, and help him discover just how big and fun the world can be.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who brings both heart and playfulness to the table, Riven is ready to meet you. His confidence is blooming, his tail is wagging, and his future is looking brighter every day.
To apply for Riven visit EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org His adoption fee is partially sponsored making his fee only $150. He comes neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm tested and on monthly heartworm prevention, flea and tick prevention, and a microchip that we register for you.
