Story
Added River bday pic today Feb 2026 with new toy he loved it.I rescued river weighed 4 lb now weighs 71. He will be 2 yrs Feb 8, 2026.really good dog! Unfortunately I got reoccurrence of breast cancer and found out my husband has prostate cancer we are not able to give River the attention he deserves. He’s spoiled and use to being warm in winter cool in summer. I put picture of him laying under fan he loves his fan in the summer. hard to describe what we have set up for him to stay in but it’s very nice even though he’s not in the house. I will take pictures send to whoever is interested so you can see his area he could be in house likes both. I wish my circumstances were different I hate to see him go I want to make sure it’s someone who loves animals and will be good to him not fair to him now I don’t think this is a good life he needs more attention. You can have all his things he has 2 beds too. With a heavy heart this was a hard decision. I hope he gets a great home.
