About this Dog
Hey there! I’m River, a friendly 4-year-old mix of Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) and Husky—coming straight from Chatham, VA. I have this gorgeous blue-black coat and stunning blue eyes that make me look like I’m ready to conquer the world (or maybe just a tennis ball, but who’s counting?). I’m a Sagittarius, so I’m all about adventure, curiosity, and a little bit of mischief. I weigh in at a lean 45 pounds, and I’m definitely all muscle under this pretty fur.I’ll tell you something about me—I love to chase cats. It’s just in my Cattledog nature, so don't be surprised if you see me dart after one! As a Cattledog-Husky mix, I have the energy and drive to match, but once I’m done zooming around, I’m pretty chill. I have a bit of a rough-and-tumble streak, though—one time, I had a little tussle with my sister during dinner (don’t worry, we’re both fine, and it was her fault!). Now I have this adorable little droop in the corner of my right eye. It's really no big deal—just sibling rivalry, you know?I’ve been really good about not causing any trouble when it comes to food, but here’s the thing: I’m a “foodie.” I just love it so much! Although, you know... I'm a dog...so it's kinda our deal, ya know? Anyhoo, just make sure to feed all of the animals in your home separately and there should be no issues!When it comes to people, I can be a little timid at first, but I love to stick close and get all the attention. Sometimes I’ll even sneak off during meal times and wait until everyone’s done before I come back out. I’m super sweet and gentle when it comes to taking treats (I mean, who doesn’t love a snack, right?). I’m really well house-trained, and I get along with other dogs just fine—I even play and share with them like a champ!I think a home with kids would be fine with me. As long as they give me space and take my cues, we'll get along just dandy. Since I can be a little shy at first, kids with a ton of energy and no real spacial awareness wouldn't be super fun for me. So maybe older kids and/or kids that know how to interact with dogs...that would be the best scenario.I will say, I am a bit of an acrobat and a sprinter in one medium-sized furry pup body. I LOVE to climb and jump fences and once I do, just blink your eyes and I'm gone! So my people will definitely have to make sure their home is escape-proof because if not, see ya...wouldn't wanna be ya!!So that’s me in a nutshell: a beautiful, adventurous, sometimes goofy girl who’s a little bit shy, definitely athletic, but most important of all, I'm always ready to love. Looking forward to sharing my journey with you!
Contribute to River's Stash!
100% of River's balance will be sent to whoever adopts River.
Adopt River and Receive River's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, River's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is River's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the River, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming River's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and River was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, River’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the River’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, River’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
