Happy Tails – River

May 14, 2024 by Brooke Anderson

Good afternoon,

Thought I would give you an update regarding River. I am happy to say that after a very eventful first week, with work and patience, things have drastically improved. We have worked on some boundaries and now he and Dixie (another ARSPCA alumni) are doing much better. Had a few growls and apprehension with new men, but we have worked on that and he has done much better. With a few treats, he becomes buddies with them pretty quick. Extremely well mannered with women and kids. Even likes the cats. He has picked up on a daily schedule/routine very well. If someone didn’t know better, they would think he has been at our house forever. Still having some occasional tummy issues even after going back to the Purina that you said was fed to him at the shelter. Vet appointment is scheduled. Things are going very well. River has found his home. Feel free to share with anyone who was following River’s travels.
