My name is River!

Are you ready for a loyal, energetic, and endlessly loving companion? Meet Element , a who’s bursting with potential and waiting for her perfect forever home! This spirited girl needs an active family who can keep up with her energy and offer plenty of exercise, ideally with a big fenced yard where she can run to her heart’s content (a high fence is essential since she’s a skilled jumper). She thrives with someone who works from home or is home often, as she doesn’t do well crated for long periods due to some separation anxiety. She’s still learning the ropes of being a house dog, including leash manners—she’s an enthusiastic puller—and housetraining, where she’s making progress but still has occasional accidents. Her family will need to be patient, dedicated to training, and willing to celebrate her little victories along the way. While she’s friendly, her energy level makes her better suited for a home without young kids, and a cat-free household is a must. This sweet girl would also love a calm canine companion to show her the ropes—she’s especially bonded to her current buddy, an older lab mix, and follows his lead in everything from house manners to relaxing during downtime. If you’re an active, loving, and patient dog owner looking for a partner to train, play, and grow with, Element might be the perfect match!
