Meet Domestic Animal Services’ longest resident: River

River is a 3-year-old Cattle Dog X who is currently the longest resident at Domestic Animal Services and has been searching for his forever home for over 160 days.

River is big for a cattle dog and he has an even bigger heart. He is looking for an active home that can offer him the space and stimulation he needs. He is a playful boy at heart so it’s important to have secure fencing so he can explore and stretch his legs safely.

He’s a huge fan of fetch and people play, and he absolutely thrives on being close to his humans. One of his most charming traits? He greets you with a big, toothy smile that shows off his pearly whites!

River would be best suited a household where he can be the only pet so he can continue his training and socialisation to help him grow into the confident, loving companion he’s meant to be.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and fun-loving dog to join your family, River might just be your perfect match.

Domestic Animal Services rehomes hundreds of dogs each year and River is one of 27 dogs available for adoption. To learn more about the process of adopting a dog and to view the dogs available for adoption, visit the Dogs at Domestic Animal Services page.
