River is a lively six-and-a-half-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix with a golden coat and soft white accents. At around 50 pounds, this medium-sized girl is a bundle of energy and devotion, always ready to turn an ordinary day into an adventure! River absolutely adores human connection, especially bonding closely with men, and she is happiest when she can curl up under the covers after a full day of fun. She loves sunbathing and lounging after exercise, and being close to her people!
Ideal Home
River thrives on activity and would love to join a family who enjoys running, hiking, swimming, or long walks. Tug-of-war is one of her favorite games! She needs a caring environment where she can be the only pet, as she needs space away from other animals and has shown strong reactivity toward other animals, particularly cats and small dogs. There has been a serious past incident involving a cat, so a pet-free home is essential. Because she has limited experience with children, River may not tolerate young children who are loud, grabby, or unpredictable, so a home with teenagers or adults would be the best fit. River may feel uneasy around loud noises like drills or hair dryers, but with understanding and support, she settles beautifully into a calm and cuddly companion.
Ongoing Health
Occasional skin sensitivity is well managed with vitamins, helping her stay comfortable and happy.
Training & Support
River has completed formal obedience training and knows commands like sit, lay down, wait, and kennel up, showing how eager she is to learn and connect through positive reinforcement. She is also house-trained and comfortable being left alone for short periods. She would benefit from a confident, experienced pet parent who understands energetic dogs and can continue providing structure, guidance and clear boundaries.
