River

Say hello to River, a stunning fawn boy with a zest for life and a heart full of love! River is a happy, inquisitive soul who’s always ready for his next adventure. Whether it’s a walk in the park, a hike in the bush, or a fun day exploring the beach, River is the perfect companion for an active family who loves the outdoors.

River is friendly and social, and he absolutely adores his toys—so much so that he gets the cutest zoomies when he’s playing! While he’s happy to share his home with another dog, he’d also thrive as the only dog in the household, soaking up all the attention. If he’s going to be home alone, he’d prefer a family with a part-time or casual worker, so he doesn’t miss out on too much time with his people.

Because River loves his toys so much, he might not be the best at sharing them with little ones, so we recommend a home with kids aged 10+ or teens who can respect his boundaries. His absolute favourite things? Spending time with his family, playing in a yard, and getting all the neck scratches he can!

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion to join your family and keep you smiling, River is ready to dive into your life.

Greyhounds can be at different stages in their development as they transition to pet life. The greyhound that is perfect for your family might take some time to match.
