Story
Meet River! Born around November 2024, River is a Shepherd mix with a stunning brindle coat and an equally beautiful personality. Playful, curious, and loving, he’s the kind of companion who’s always ready to make every day a little brighter. River enjoys toys, Kongs, walks, treats, and spending time with his dog friends. He loves being outside where he can explore, stretch his legs, and take in all the sights and sounds around him. He’s also known for his fun personality — if a toy squeaks or a treat bag rustles, River makes sure he doesn’t miss out on the action! He’s both house and crate trained, uses a dog door nicely, and has good manners around the home. River is friendly with other dogs and would love to have a playful companion or a family who enjoys including him in their activities. He walks well on leash, knows his basic commands, and is eager to learn new ones — he’s always ready to please and earn a “good boy!” River would be a wonderful fit for an active individual or family with older children. A fenced yard where he can play and explore would be a bonus, but he’ll be just as happy joining you for walks and adventures. Loyal, smart, and full of heart, River is ready to bring joy and love to his forever family. River is neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. To meet this amazing boy, contact adopt@carolinapaws.com
