My story

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

WATCH MY VIDEO....River is one of the SWEETEST dogs in our shelter, and a family couldn`t ask for a better profile. He loves people, enjoy kids and plays with other dogs. He will come when called and is always happy and friendly. River is potty trained, and is pretty good on a leash, but we`re working on that a little bit because he will occassionally pull. He loves to play and really loves his people. He loves them so much, that when they`re not around, he will take their shoes and sleep with them to comfort himself. AWWWWWW. He lived with his family for 4 years, and now that they`re moving, they told him he can`t come. He`s kept a positive attitude, though, and he knows his real forever family is out there. After all, he knows how amazing he is.

Take the Pet Home

If the pet is spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccines, he/she can go home right away. If not, you will pick him/her up the next day.

Additional adoption info

Please visit our shelter, we are open 7 days a week and adoptions opens daily at 11 a.m. All adopters will meet with an adoption counselor to complete an adoption application and then meet their potential new family member. Please bring your driver's license with you or a bill that has your current address on it. All pets are spayed or neutered prior to going home, so the pet may not go home the same day.

The adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, preliminary vaccinations, deworming, treatment for fleas, microchip, limited 14 day health care plan courtesy of VCA Animal Hospitals, feline leukemia test for cats, heartworm test for dogs over the age of 7 months, and a bag of Purina ONE pet food.
