Meet River – The Sweetest Little Puppy Ready for Her Forever Home
River is an adorable 3 1/2-month-old puppy with a heart full of love and the cutest freckled face. She and her mom were abandoned at a rural Central Valley shelter, where their future seemed uncertain. Thankfully, a loving foster family in the Bay Area stepped up to give them both a second chance, and now River is thriving!
River’s Amazing Qualities
• Perfect Puppy Size: Currently just 6 pounds, River is likely to grow into a small-to-medium dog, around 12–20 pounds, just like her mom.
• Sweet and Curious: She’s a gentle and affectionate little girl who loves to play, cuddle, and explore her surroundings as she gains confidence.
• Puppy Charm: River is learning what it means to be a dog and is blossoming into a playful, loving companion.
• Smart and Eager to Learn: She’s doing well with house and crate training, making her a fantastic candidate for a family ready to teach her everything she needs to know.
What River Needs in a Forever Home
• Patience and Guidance: As a young puppy, River is at the perfect age to be molded and trained into a well-behaved family member.
• A Safe Environment: She’ll need a home where she can continue her vaccinations and stay safe until she’s ready to explore the world in about a month.
• Love and Attention: River thrives on playtime, snuggles, and gentle encouragement as she grows into her personality.
• Room to Play: A yard or regular access to outdoor spaces would be ideal for this curious little pup.
Why River is the Perfect Pup
River has the sweetest disposition and is at the perfect age to bond with her new family. Whether you’re looking for a playful puppy or a snuggle buddy, she’s ready to be your best friend for life. With her gentle personality and eagerness to learn, she’ll be a wonderful addition to any home.
If you’re ready to welcome a sweet, freckled-face puppy into your life, River could be your perfect match. Don’t wait—this precious girl won’t be available for long!
