My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Renee (renees@tarasdream.org) for more information about this pet. Please visit our web site at https://tarasdream.org/adopt to fill out an adoption application for this pet and for more info about our adoption process.  Hello everybody, my name is River. I am a young guy (only 3 or 4 months old) and have started out my life homeless. I am hoping you can be my forever family. According to my nice foster family, I am a sweet boy, with a happy disposition. I am a little shy at first, but I think it is simply because I have not had a lot of exposure to a lot of things. I do warm up quickly and give the best hugs and kisses. I am gentle, and have a cute little personality that really starts to shine with a couple of toys or out in the yard. I am enjoying the company of other dogs and am learning to play with them. I am doing great with crate training, and am doing a great job learning the ins and outs of housetraining. My foster mom says that I have the cutest little head and face with the sweetest floppy ears. If you are looking for your new best friend please consider me! I'm looking for my new best friend too, and maybe we could be each others! I can't wait to meet you. Love, River   Approximate Birthdate:  12/2/2024 Adoption Fee:  $250 TARA's adoption fee includes: spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, heartworm test (if age appropriate), heartworm and flea prevention, and deworming.  TARA's pets are all eligible for a TWO WEEK TRIAL. Due to the fact that many of our dogs come from the local city shelters, we do not know the background of many of them and therefore cannot always guarantee age or breed.  Size is subjective but we use the following guidelines: Small 1-20 pounds, Med 20-50 pounds, Large 50-80 pounds, Extra Large over 80 pounds.     For more information please fill out an application.     CONTACT INFO The Animal Rescue Alliance (TARA) Web site: tarasdream.org Adoption Information & Applications: https://tarasdream.org/adopt Upcoming Adoption Events: https://tarasdream.org/events Email: email@tarasdream.org May 17, 2025, 12:13 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.
