River

My story

My name is River and I am a 6- month-old puppy:   Here is my story.  I came into the rescue with my 3 sisters because the family couldn’t take care of all of us.   I am the explorer of the group. My foster mom says that if there is a way out of the puppy play area, I will be the one to find it. I am known for being the best kisser and will shower you with affection.  I'm a very playful girl who would absolutely love to have a friend to explore and play with.  I get along great with everyone I meet. I am looking for a family where someone is home most of the time to continue with my house training, doggy socialization and to give me lots of love and attention. I am very much a puppy and will need a patient owner who will work with her on my basic training.  I am potty trained as long as you keep up with taking me out on a regular schedule.  I  will require patience while she transitions to a new environment and schedule.  While I am an indoor dog, I love the fresh air outside and will need a home with a nice, safe fenced yard to run and play in with my family.  I am sorry but I am not suited for apartment/condo living. Please be sure you are ready for the antics of a puppy and a 15+ year commitment when applying. River is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee of $350 helps offset the rescue's medical expenses. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think she could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*:   Adoption Application - Help A Dog Smile .   *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up November 5, 2024, 8:51 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt River, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
