River is a Texas Sporting Breed Rescue alum who was adopted in 2019 and recently experienced the heartbreaking loss of his beloved dad. Now, this mature, well-mannered gentleman is looking for a soft landing—a new family to share his golden years and give him the love he so freely offers.
Why He’s the Ultimate Gentle Soul
🐾 Mature and mellow with a kind heart
🐶 Gets along beautifully with dogs and cats
👨👩👧 Adores people and welcomes affection from everyone he meets
🌞 Loves outdoor sunbathing and quiet adventures
🔕 Rarely barks—except to politely let you know he’s ready to come inside
🏡 No jumping, no chaos—just calm greetings and sweet companionship
What He’s Looking For
✔️ A calm, loving home to match his mellow energy
✔️ A family who will include him in everyday life and offer gentle affection
✔️ A yard or space where he can enjoy sun puddles and fresh air
✔️ Pet-friendly household—he’s great with other animals
✔️ A heart big enough to give a second chance to a once-beloved dog
River is the kind of dog who quietly becomes your shadow, your comfort, and your loyal friend. If you’re looking for a soulful companion with years of love left to give, River is ready to meet you and start his next chapter.
Could you be the one to bring him home?
