One dogs story.......

Around Tucson and the country, thousands of pets are abandoned, lost or even abused. This is the story of just one dog, who because of her past has lost all trust in anything around her.....she is just one of many who need help. This is has been a journey for everyone of her fans and all the people who have tried to help "Bring River Home"

River-The wash dog! Before rescue.

About "River"

River was fisrt noticed by a person passing by the area, she was unable to catch her, but posted her on Craigslist, from there, more sightings occured, and a group of people got together to make a plan to save her! She lives in the Rillito River, at first she was just the "wash dog" but now is known by many as "River"



She is a beautiful Shepard mix, wearing a collar, she has been living in the same area since at least November 2009, she is a very curious girl, loves to watch people and other dogs, just doesnt like to be approached. She will come to some but always keeps some distance. She loves treats and food.



We dont know her past story, she could be someones lost pet,or another dumped dog?All we know is we would like to see her in a safer enviroment, hopefully a loving home.



RIVER WAS RESCUED 2/13/10

Thanks Danielle, Duet, and Mark!

COUCH POTATO

Well River came home with me this weekend since I had four days off to work with her, I got a kennel, prepared the back yard, etc Well, River had her own plans and followed my dogs right in the house, (before that she had not want to enter a house) well with in a a few more minutes after that, she had found "the couch" and pretty much has taken it over! She is truly a couch potato, thought she would be a very active dog, after all the running she has done, but she really just enjoys being a big ole slug! She seems to be so comfy and sleeps so soundly even snores sometimes. I think she is finally getting some well needed sleep. She loves playing with her new friends. Once she came inside, leaving her in a kennel was never a options, she hated it and spent a total of a 15 minutes in it! She just wanted to be with everyone. She has gone on a few walks, a little afraid of passing cars, but loves her walks, she loves tug a war with the stuffies with people or dogs! She is very curious follows everyone around, not to afraid of things, very interested in the shower and toilet! She has been a good girl when left in the house, and now joins in with the others, with a wagging tail, to great you! She still likes to bark at new people, or people she doesn't know well, but is getting more and more comfortable and trusting. Pictures coming soon....Thanks to all of you....she is a happy girl now!
