About River
River is an energetic happy boy very excited to go on a walk.
Our trainer says "Big friendly dog who copes with kids, family fun and excitement. Loves attention, loves people and will jump into your lap so suits older children. He is a quiet calm dog once he settles. He sits politely for treats" He walks nicely on loose lead but can lunge at some dogs. He loves a run and enjoys jumping up to lick your face. He is jumpy and still does puppy biting. He knows sit and is looking for an active family willing to give him some education.
Walkers say: "Lovely boy. Loves a cuddle. Reacted to some dogs and others he didn't." He has a smooth coat and weighs 21.5kg.
Garden: Needs a home that has more space as well as a garden for exercise and regular walks outside.
Suit Part Time Worker: Copes alone for short periods, with training possibly longer but presently does need someone home part of the time.
Good with Kids: Shown to be good with kids in the controlled environment of the Shelter.
NEEDS RESCUE EXPERIENCE: Many people grow up with, or own a dog who has had no bad experiences in life. A dog who is confident and well rounded. However, many rescue dogs have not been as lucky in their lives.
These dogs need someone with previous rescue experience and an in depth understanding of and experience in building relationships with these kinds of dogs.
Medical notes
He comes desexed, C5 vaccinated, heartworm free and microchipped. Also included for the love and health of our dogs is a free Health and Wellness Voucher with our DR Vet.
Adoption details
DoggieRescue is a charitable organisation and as such we rely very much on volunteers to manage our adoptions. We answer initial adoption enquiries by email or phone and then arrange an appointment for you to meet some of our rescue dogs.
At DoggieRescue we believe our dogs deserve to find that special someone who will love them and look after them forever. We know that there are homes out there that are willing to accommodate one more little member of the family and dedicate time to their well being.
