❤️ River: Life’s Better When You Have a Best Friend ❤️
Some puppies are content watching the world go by.
River?
He’d much rather be right in the middle of it, making friends wherever he goes.
River is a young Labrador Retriever mix who recently graduated from our Paws in Prison training program, where he learned all the important life skills every puppy should know. He’s house trained, crate trained, wonderful with other dogs, great with children, cat friendly, and has completed professional obedience training.
He’s the kind of puppy who is always happy to meet someone new. Whether it’s people, another dog, or a new adventure, River approaches life with a wagging tail, a bright smile, and the confidence that everyone is just another friend he hasn’t met yet.
While River and his brother Aspen share the same wonderful foundation and excellent manners, River’s personality shines in a different way. He’s the social butterfly of the two. Outgoing, cheerful, and full of youthful enthusiasm, he has a way of making every day feel just a little more fun.
Don’t let his friendly personality fool you, though. River isn’t a wild puppy bouncing off the walls. Thanks to his training, he already understands how to settle, listen, and work with his person. He’s eager to please, quick to learn, and has the kind of temperament that makes him a joy to live with.
Whether you’re looking for a walking buddy, a hiking partner, a family dog, or simply a loyal best friend, River is ready to jump into whatever adventure comes next.
He has all the wonderful qualities people hope to find in a Labrador mix… affectionate, intelligent, playful, and incredibly people-oriented… with the added bonus of already having the training that many puppies are just beginning to learn.
River is ready to trade his prison graduation certificate for something even better…
A family to call his own.

Please note:
We cannot guarantee breed or breed mix, as our information is often limited to what is observed or shared by a previous owner.
Changes in environment may also affect behavior—so while we do our best to assess each dog, we cannot guarantee personality traits, temperament, or preferences.
All of our dogs are fully vetted, including:
• Spay or neuter
• Age-appropriate vaccinations
• Rabies vaccination
• Microchipping
• Heartworm and Lyme testing
• Deworming
• Flea and tick treatment
• Heartworm prevention
• Any other necessary medical care
Foster-to-adopt means the dog will live with you while completing any remaining veterinary care. Once completed, the adoption is finalized.
Each adoption includes a 6-week group obedience class (a $125 value).
If adopting a puppy under 6 months of age, we cover the cost of spay/neuter at the appropriate time.
Paws-in-Prison dogs are not available for adoption until they complete their training program. However, you may apply in advance to reserve your highly trained companion.
