River is an almost 4-year-old long-haired Weimaraner with a heart as big as his beautiful, flowing coat. His soulful eyes and wagging tail are only part of his charm—what makes him truly special is his loyal, affectionate nature. River thrives outdoors, whether he’s chasing after squirrels and bunnies, exploring the yard, or simply stretching out in the sunshine. He’s playful, curious, and happiest when he’s both active and surrounded by the people he loves.
River has a playful streak and adores his toys. He’ll proudly carry them around, toss them in the air, or enjoy a fun game with his foster siblings. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and finds comfort in their company, though he’s just as content to wind down and cuddle once playtime is over. A family with another dog could be a great fit, giving River both companionship and confidence.
Like many Weimaraners, River is loyal and sensitive. He can be a little anxious at first, especially when meeting new people or encountering new situations. Right now, he’s working on being slowly introduced to new people so that he can build confidence and learn that strangers are okay. He needs a patient, understanding family who will continue this progress—offering reassurance, consistency, and love. Once he bonds with someone, his devotion is unmatched, and he becomes a true best friend for life.
River is also very smart and eager to learn. He already knows several commands and has been working on improving his manners. One area where he has made excellent progress is with barking—he has excelled in learning to stay calm and quiet when people walk by or when delivery workers stop at the house. His growth shows just how capable he is when given guidance and encouragement. With continued training, his confidence will only get stronger, and he will continue to thrive.
Because of his sensitive nature, River would do best in a home with older children who can respect his boundaries and give him space while he warms up. He is at a wonderful stage of life—past the chaos of puppyhood but still full of playful energy and joy. With the right family, River will flourish into an even more confident, happy dog who gives back endless love and loyalty.
If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with unwavering loyalty and joy, River could be the perfect fit for your family. He’s ready to share his heart and grow even more with the family lucky
