River and his siblings come from a bad situation, living in dirty conditions with very little food or water. They were very sickly, but with time they have thrived. They absolutely love playing outside, running around with the big dogs.

River is the boss and ruler of all toys! He also thinks he is a lap baby and he should be the perfect size for a lap dog, maybe around 35lbs full grown is our guess based on mom. He is a sweet and handsome boy looking for a family with kids or other doggies to play with.
