Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Intake Reason: Returned due to allergies
Weight: 63.4#
Known with: ·Cats: Unknown ·Dogs: Best with calm dogs. ·Kids: Did well with teenagers but will need to be supervised with young children.
Personality:
Greetings, my name is River and I am a beautiful southern belle from Alabama. I was quickly adopted by a wonderful person but came back to WCHS when they discovered that I made them sneeze. I adore people and certainly do not want to be the cause of them feeling miserable so I agreed it made sense to look for a new home. I am a gentle gal who could use a little confidence building. Since learning new skills can boost a girl's self-assuredness, I think it would be lovely to take some classes with you so I am introduced to new things. We could take obedience classes and participate in rally or get involved in canine sports, practice nose-work or just play dog parkour when we are out and about. I already know the cues for ‘sit', ‘down' and ‘paw/shake' and think I could learn many more human words with your patient and positive training techniques. I have had fun joining a playgroup with calm dogs at the shelter; I am not a fan of crazy and rambunctious pups. I sort of fancy myself as the group police-pooch when the other dogs are playing; I figure someone has to referee. The person who I stayed with for a while found that I liked car rides and was comfortable in a crate, especially when it has comfy cozy blankets and comes with long-lasting frozen Kong treat to keep me busy. I had a brief encounter with a feline; I was off-leash, saw the kitty and whined a bit and the cat did not move. That does not make me an expert on felines, but perhaps I have potential to live in harmony with them. I understand the concept of house-training but when I first come to my new home it would be wise to give me plenty of potty breaks until we learn each other's signals and routines. I am a friendly and affectionate gal who is quiet in the house; I am a big fan of snuggle sessions after a fun day of play. At over 60 pounds, I may be a skosh big for your lap but I would be honored to have a place at your side. I am an active lass who will need physical and mental exercise each day to keep me happy and healthy; it is important for me to keep my brain busy and engaged. I also love a rousing game of fetch. I spent time with some teenagers and did well; I have been known to jump up on people so I should be supervised if tiny tykes are around. I am a spectacular pooch with loads of love to give and promise to be a loyal companion forever. I hope you stop by to meet me because I know you will be enamored by my dazzling personality. #2
