River is ready for adoption 🏠
River is a 6ish month old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix who is everything that you could want in a puppy! She is sweet, curious, eager to learn, playful, loving and happy. She loves all other dogs but can be timid of new humans and situations.
River’s front legs are bowed due to either a genetic defect or abuse as a young puppy. According to the specialists, they are optimistic her legs can be surgically repaired, but we have to wait until her growth plates close at around a year old.
In the meantime we would love to find her forever foster-to-adopt home near Chapel Hill, Tennessee so we can continue to monitor her at our vet 🙏🐾🏡.
Eventually, River will most likely need surgery in Knoxville to correct her legs which HERO is 💯 ready to support!
