My story

Meet River – the little showstopper! At just 8 weeks old, River looks like he walked straight out of a fairytale. With his soft, golden-blonde apricot coat and dreamy long hair, he’s the most Yorkie-like of his litter and literally looks like a living, breathing stuffed animal. But River isn’t just a pretty face—he’s got personality for days! Spunky, curious, and playful, he’s starting to come out of his shell and gain confidence with each passing day. He loves to explore, cuddle, and be part of the action, making him a perfect match for a family who wants a loving companion to grow up with. River may need light grooming to keep that gorgeous coat looking its best, and like all puppies, he’ll need a family committed to positive training, socialization, daily playtime, and continued potty training. He’s still completing his puppy vaccinations and will need to avoid shared public spaces for a few more weeks, but in the meantime, a home with a backyard and maybe a friendly resident dog would be his dream setup. Estimated to be about 8-12 pounds full grown, River may be small—but his charm is larger than life. Ready to fall in love? Apply now to meet River and let the puppy adventures begin! First Step Is To Apply Now [Apply Now](http://form.jotform.com/underdogca/dog-adoption-application) For application updates, forwarding requests, or any questions, contact us at adopt@underdogca.com. This is also the best way to submit additional documents or information. We do keep applications on file for 90days in case the dog you apply for it already adopted or not the right fit simply email us to forward your application on to another dog of interest. Our dogs are in foster homes all over the Bay Area and all adopters are required to travel to the foster home to meet. We do not have a facility. No meet and greet can happen until application is completed. Our Commitment to Our Dogs Every dog in our care receives comprehensive veterinary care, including: • Spay/Neuter surgery • Microchipping • DHPP vaccination • Flea treatment and deworming • Rabies vaccination • Any additional vet care as needed The adoption fee for this dog is $700 serving as a non-refundable donation to help cover vetting, transport, and care costs. Adoption fees may vary based on specific dog and needs.
