Meet River
River is a stunning black Lab with a quiet depth about him. At first, he prefers to watch the world go by and size things up at his own pace-but once he feels safe, you’ll see the playful, affectionate, and wonderfully engaging dog he truly is. With his goofy zoomies and happy tail wags, River has a way of reminding you to enjoy life’s little joys.
He gets along well with other dogs and would be happy to have a canine friend, though what River needs most is a patient and loving family who understands that the best things in life are worth a little time. As he learns to trust, you’ll discover a companion who is not only loyal, but truly devoted.
River isn’t just looking for a home-he’s looking for his people. And when he finds them, he’ll give back every ounce of patience and kindness with a lifetime of love.
