About River

Meet River, ARPH #14663, an 18 month old neutered red tri male with a higher energy level. He's up to date on shots and preventatives; is housebroken, crate trained, and has been very good in his crate at night or when left alone at his foster home. River came to ARPH through no fault of his own from a home with two other dogs and a couple cats. Originally adopted from a shelter, he got along well with his doggy sister, but the older, intact male dog did not appreciate having River around. The situation was escalating, and the owners made the hard decision to find River a new home. River LOVES Frisbee, fetch, toys, and according to his former owners, he also loves to swim. He loves being around his people and learning new things. He already knows sit, down, shake, let it go; roll-over. River has a consistent recall when he's not distracted by the squirrels. He was seldom on leash in his previous home, so his leash manners are a work in progress. He's a very quick learner though, and very food motivated. He is getting used to the leash and is learning to wait before going out the door. River would do well in a home with a female playmate or as an only dog. He did live with dog savvy cats but tended to resource guard with them. No children under 16. The right home would have a traditionally fenced yard and would be someone willing to take the time to continue River's training. He definitely needs regular, consistent exercise and might be able to do dog sports or tricks. He'll be a wonderful companion and a lot of fun in the right home. River is fostered in southeast PA.
