About River your Sweet Snuggle Buddy!

River is an amazing boy with a social personality that you are sure to love! He is friendly, affectionate, smart, curious, and funny, and he loves to be with his humans. River enjoys giving warm snuggles and would love to be your cuddle buddy. He enjoys having fun and can be silly, which will keep you smiling. River loves his toys and will either play with you or entertain himself. He will run around with a toy in his mouth, get excited, and give you an adorable, excited look. River also enjoys napping on the couch. He loves attention but is a good boy and willing to wait until the right time. River is house-trained. He is a 49 lb Labrador Retriever/Shepherd mix with an estimated birthday of November 16, 2022.

River is good on a leash and loves everyone he meets on walks, who often stop to compliment him. He loves to explore and is eager to please. Basic training would be a breeze with a little time and his favorite yummy treats! River LOVES the water; he's an excellent swimmer and enjoys hanging out by it.
