River  ~ Adopted!!!!!! 
     
  

Mastiff / American Bulldog mix - We rescued River from an outdoor kennel with 2 other dogs, where the living conditions were pretty horrible. He is only about 6 -7 months old, about 50 pounds and house-trained. He is very sweet and extremely well behaved (especially for a puppy), but he is very, very shy and will require other dogs in the house to be happy. He prefers children to adults and is very hesitant with adult men, especially if they are bigger, taller guys. The foster home has two small children in the house and River plays in the back yard with them, so he is good with kids but still prefers dogs for company. He would have to use a harness, because he is very unhappy when he is on a leash attached to his collar and really wants it off. An adoptive family will need to be patient and diligent when they adopt River because he is so nervous around new people, but the trade off could be worth it. The foster home says he is a very sweet dog, and is well behaved in the house. He is micro-chipped, current on his vaccinations, and neutered.
