Riva (located NY) - Border Collie and Black Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Port Orange, Florida

RIVA: 3 MONTHS OLD, 100% ADORABLE, AND CURRENTLY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR HER VERY OWN HUMAN.

Some girls arrive in a new home and immediately take charge.

Others prefer to assess the situation, evaluate the residents, and make sure nobody's hiding any monsters under the furniture.

Riva is apparently in management's quality-control department.

Meet Riva, a ridiculously adorable, 3-month-old Border Collie puppy with a beautiful fluffy black coat, the sweetest little face, and eyes that could probably convince you to hand over your car keys.

Riva and her equally adorable brother, Cortana, just landed themselves a pretty fabulous foster gig with our wonderful Suzie and Chuck!

Of course, moving into a new place comes with a few surprises.

Like discovering your new furry stepbrother is approximately the size of a small horse and has a VERY LOUD opinion about new arrivals.

One bark was all it took for Miss Riva to decide that perhaps this whole independent-woman thing could wait another day.

MOMMMMM! THERE'S A GIANT IN THE LIVING ROOM!

And off she went for some much-needed snuggles and reassurance from her new foster mama.

But don't let that little moment of uncertainty fool you. Riva is already starting to settle in, and underneath all that irresistible fluff is a sweet, playful little puppy with a whole lifetime of adventures ahead of her.

She's still figuring out this big, exciting world, and we're looking for someone who will help her discover just how wonderful it can be.

And because Riva is a Border Collie, we're hoping to find a family that understands that behind those beautiful puppy eyes is a clever little brain that will need exercise, enrichment, training, and plenty of opportunities to learn. She's not just looking for a couch to decorate (although we're fairly certain she'd look fabulous on one). She's looking for a family to grow up with!

At just three months old, Riva has so much ahead of her. First adventures. Favorite toys. New tricks. Ridiculous puppy shenanigans. And, most importantly, a lifetime of loving the people lucky enough to call her theirs.

The best part? Her whole story is still waiting to be written.

And wouldn't it be wonderful if YOU were her happily ever after?

More adorable pictures and updates coming soon as Riva settles into her foster home!
