River

River was WTOP's Pet of the Week. Check it out! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZ74YInMlws/?igsh=MTNqNjF1bjdhbXNsbQ==

River is a smart, well-mannered boy who settled into his weekend foster home with ease. He's fully housetrained, sleeps soundly through the night, and loves spending time close to his people—whether that's following you around the house, napping by your side, or heading out for an adventure.

If you're looking for an active partner, River is ready to play! He loves fetch and is a natural at frisbee, happily bringing his toys back and dropping them on cue. He also walks beautifully on leash and responds well to gentle guidance. River already knows several commands, including sit, down, shake, come, no, and get your toy, and he's eager to listen when spoken to with a calm, confident voice.

River enjoys meeting new people and has been polite with neighbors, happily accepting pets. River loves to have his chin and neck scratched and of course belly rubs. He has shown interest in other dogs on walks but has been easily redirected. At the shelter, River has had many great playdates with other pups and is dog-friendly!
