Hello from Connecticut, I am a handsome Australian Kelpie mix named River, 2-1/2 years old, about 32 lbs, and I am one cool dude. Easygoing, calm, and collected would describe my personality. I’m friendly with people young and old and other dogs, so it’s a mystery what I was doing in a Laredo Texas Animal Shelter. Thankfully a dog rescue had a sharp eye and loved my personality, sent me to a foster home so I could be adopted and make some lucky person/family very happy. I am well-behaved and quiet, even when all the household chihuahuas start barking like crazy I will look to see what’s going on, but maintain my dignity and not join in. I learned how to use a doggy door just by watching the other dogs, so now even though I was already housebroken, I can easily let myself out to take care of business. I’m sweet and loveable, love to play, and not too proud to admit I love squeaky toys. I can walk nicely on a leash, and take a ride in the car, I’m loyal, social, and self-assured, I’ve got it all going on.
Well, my dreams came true and I was adopted 5 months ago by a very nice person in Connecticut but sadly due to an illness and a nursing home, I cannot tag along and must find a new future. East Coast families, please come by and meet me, just be prepared to fall in love and take me home.
* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
