Meet River,, a sweet pup who’s ready to find her forever family! She’s curious, playful, and full of potential. Like any puppy, she’ll need guidance with training—house manners, leash skills, and ongoing socialization—but she’s eager to learn and grow with the right person by her side.
River is currently in a foster home where she’s getting the foundation every puppy needs. She’s practicing routines, building confidence, and learning what it means to be part of a family.
Raising a puppy can be both fun and challenging: the silly zoomies, the snuggles, the “firsts” you’ll experience together—and yes, the patience and consistency it takes to help her thrive. With love and structure, River will blossom into a wonderful lifelong companion.
Estimated adult weight is about 50-60 pounds.
