Curious, passionate, and playful, River's quite the distinguished gent. Though he has a little hobble when he walks, he's actually quite speedy and appreciative of exercise. River is at a stage in his life when he knows what he likes and thoroughly appreciates regular feedings, walks, car rides, and naps (he has the sweetest snore!). He's a connoisseur of treats, bath time, and a good night's rest. River is gregarious -- greeting new people and children with an open heart. He'd be equally at home in a house or an apartment and is perfectly capable of being left alone while you go run errands (but if he can come along, he loves cruising around town).

River is not always so sure of the intentions of other dogs when on a leash, but he's getting some instruction right now to work on that. Otherwise, he's a mellow fellow! River loves people of all shapes and sizes including children! But he has no known experience with kitties at this time. River takes daily meds for his aches and pains -- hey he's an older gentleman! But otherwise he is doing great.

Though River came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray, he has adapted quickly to the homebody life style and is ready to make himself right at home with you!
