My name is RIVER!

River is a calm and gentle 3-year-old Husky who’s looking for a loving home, ideally with his brother Oakley by his side. River’s demeanor is easygoing and relaxed, making him a great fit for a family looking for a sweet, low-maintenance companion. He’s well-behaved on the leash and enjoys leisurely walks where he can explore the world around him at his own pace. River loves sniffing and observing his surroundings, showing little interest in squirrels or other distractions along the way.

River is consistently gentle and polite. He’s easy to leash and doesn’t pull through the kennels or toward other dogs. He knows basic commands like sit and down and responds well to treats, taking them gently from hands. While he’s not overly interested in toys, he enjoys enrichment activities and gentle pets, especially scritches to his chest.

River is a social boy who enjoys meeting new people, including children, and is very tolerant of handling. He’s mellow for a Husky and rarely barks, preferring to calmly observe the world around him. He even displayed remarkable restraint by leaving a tempting loaf of bread in the park when told to “leave it,” showing his willingness to listen and please.

River shares a special bond with his brother Oakley, and the two are happiest when they’re together. They walk side by side, often bumping into each other affectionately, and become noticeably anxious when separated. River particularly looks to Oakley for reassurance and comfort, making the duo an ideal pair for someone looking to adopt two incredibly sweet and connected dogs.

River’s calm nature and affectionate personality make him a wonderful companion for someone seeking a gentle, loving dog. He’d thrive in a home where he can enjoy leisurely walks, receive gentle attention, and most importantly, stay close to his brother Oakley. If you’re looking for a bonded pair of mellow Huskies who will fill your home with love and companionship, River (and Oakley!) are ready to meet you!
