My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pit Bull Terrier Mix, female, ~2 years old, 64 lbs.

River is a one of a kind looking dog and has a one of a kind personality to go along with her looks. She is a sweet, loving gal that loves her tummy rubs!

Incidental radiographic finding during routine educational radiographs (x-rays) discovered a nonclinical injury to River’s right shoulder. Images revealed arthritic changes and bone remodeling with metallic fragments present to her right shoulder. This discovery is likely from a previous traumatic incident. Therapeutic recommendations target holistic joint support through traditional (dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, anti-inflammatory medications, etc.) and alternative (herbal medicine, laser therapy, acupuncture, etc.) modalities. She is currently being successfully managed with monthly Librela (monoclonal antibody injection) and bi-weekly laser therapy. River has such a positive attitude and does not skip a beat physically or behaviorally. She is an amazing gal!

Before adoption, all dogs are spayed or neutered, Heartworm tested and on preventative, vaccinated for Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella (kennel cough), and are microchipped. The adoption fee is $120
