My story

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

A Colorful Personality Still Unfolding

Rainbow River is a bright, young pup whose personality is blossoming more every day. When she first arrived, she was very shut down and shy. With patience, consistency, and kindness, her true colors are beginning to shine.

At just nine months old, Rainbow River has classic puppy energy and enjoys engaging activities that help her build confidence. Walks, playtime, and interactive toys help her burn off energy. She would benefit from puzzle toys filled with treats or long-lasting chews to keep her busy.

Rainbow River will thrive in a home that understands she’s still learning that being alone is safe and okay. Ongoing positive-reinforcement training, a predictable routine, and gradual alone-time practice will help her feel secure and supported as she continues to grow.

With her white-and-brown coat and terrier-type puppy charm—possibly a Parson Jack Russell, Collie, or Border Collie mix—Rainbow River is a joyful blend of curiosity, playfulness, and heart. She’s ready for a patient, loving home that will celebrate how far she’s come and help guide her into the confident companion she’s becoming.
