About River
Hi! My name is River - I am a 2 year old kelpie mix lady who just wants to find my furever home.
NOTE FROM RESCUE: River has had three failed adoptions due to a lack of clear boundaries - she is a dog that needs to have very clear rules e.g. not allowed on the sofa, crate training etc otherwise she will walk all over you and become fear reactive.
My perfect home would have a great understanding of how my kelpie brain works and how to entertain me. My foster pawrents are always telling me how smart I am and I love learning new things! I need a family who is committed to my ongoing learning to help stimulate my active brain! I need someone who isn't afraid to tell me NO so I have clear boundaries and stay safe. I do also need another doggy pal to keep me company when you are not home.
I am an absolute water baby! I love it when foster Mum waters the veggie garden (hehe)
I am great at fetch, I will bring the ball right up to your feet to play and then go cool off in my shell pool. I am also a great runner, I keep up with my foster Dad and kelpie friends pretty well and he is always saying how much of a good girl I am on the lead. Whilst I am very playful I am also a snuggle bum. I would love to come in of a night and enjoy some quiet time watching the footy with my family.
As for my training ... where do I even start! I can do all the basics, sits, stays and come of course! My lead manners are getting better everyday, I am responsive to you on the lead and I walk well just us or with my doggy pals next to me. I love my crate of a night and I "go to bed" on command. Whilst I come with my own bag of tricks and smarts, I will need ongoing training daily to make sure I am the best version of myself.
Hope to see you soon xoxo River
