Meet River! 🐾❤️ River is a beautiful Rottweiler x Collie with a big heart and an even bigger love for cuddles! She's a real people-dog who loves being around her humans and will happily soak up all the attention and affection she can get. River enjoys playing with her toys and having fun, but she's also a big softie who loves nothing more than a good cuddle with her favourite people. She gets along well with other dogs, so she could potentially have a canine companion. Cats, however, aren't really her cup of tea, so a cat-free home would be best. If you're looking for a loving, affectionate companion who will bring plenty of cuddles, playtime and friendship into your life, River could be the girl for you!
