River
Dogs – He'd like to be your one and only
Cats – Yes, he's lived happily with one!
Kids – Adult-only home
River is a big, fluffy, year-and-a-half-old teddy bear who is still figuring out the world, and what he's figured out so far is that people are the very best thing in it. Ask anyone who has met him here: he's a sweet, curious boy who shows off beautifully for treats and just wants to be near his humans.
He comes with a solid head start too. River is housebroken, crate trained, and knows sit, paw, and come, with a smart young brain ready to learn plenty more. In his last home he lived peacefully with a cat, and they even napped together. Life with River looks like good walks, brain games, training sessions he'll actually enjoy, and a fluffy shadow following you from room to room.
River is a devoted Velcro boy, and being left alone is genuinely hard for him. He'll be happiest with a family that's around a lot, whether that's working from home, retired, or just homebodies at heart, and with people who'll keep that clever working-breed mind busy. That's the Great Pyrenees in him: smart, loyal, and built to have a job and a person. He'd also love to be your one and only dog so he never has to share a single drop of your attention.
River is barely out of puppyhood with his whole life ahead of him. If your home has room for 78 pounds of fluff and devotion, come meet him!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
