About River
* Please read the entire profile
PROFILE AND NEEDS IN A HOME
River is a gorgeous Jack Russell x Cattle Dog full of the joy and zest for life, not too much zest though:) Whilst the breed suggests running with the masses, River is more of a Netflix and chill provided he gets his daily outings/exercise and play of course.
River is truly a beautiful natured dog with great character. He does lack a bit of self-confidence, which simply means he feels the need to ask for permission to be a dog. His carers are helping him build on this with very fast results. Everyday River comes more and more into his own and looks to his carer less for the "ok".
River is a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs, River even gets along with his foster carer’s cats, chickens and ducks.
River would love a home with a furry companion (small to medium sized) and a home where his new family are home often as this is what he is used to in his previous home.
We are looking for a home where River will be part of the family and included where possible in activities outside of the home and one who are committed to encouraging River with positive force-free training methods only.
River is a "sensitive big sook”, but his carer prefers the term happy companion.
River enjoys his walks and is great on the lead, loud traffic does scare him, however he is getting braver with his carer’s help. His carer has taken him to Bunnings recently where he was well behaved and enjoyed partaking in the sausage sizzle.
River is so obedient whisper his name and he's there in 3 seconds flat. River is very intelligent and very eager to please you.
River is also house trained in his current home; however, his new home is a new environment so his new family will need to set him up to succeed in this regard.
Like all our dogs River must always have access inside. Whilst he thinks outside is fun, inside is where he loves to be so he can be with his family. River has requested a home where he cuddle on the couch and sleep in the bedroom if possible:)
If you would like to meet River, much detail as possible on yourself and the home you are able to provide including your location, contact number, your other pets (if any), family members, lifestyle, exercise and mental stimulation you will provide, how often River would be alone, where he will have access in the home, where River would go if you went away and could not take him with you, ability to cover vet expenses and any other information you wish to provide.
