From the Foster:  Hey there! My name is River. I am so proud of my name, I make sure to respond to it when someone calls out to me. I am a Corgie and Boston Terrier mix and I am pretty young, my foster mom said maybe 9 months old. 

I like to be outside in the sunshine, playing in the yard. I know that is where I should go potty but I am not sure how to tell my people that I need to get out there so sometimes I accidentally go potty in the house. That really embarrasses me so I try hard to tell them to let me out by sniffing around the house. 

I don't like to sleep in my crate but they make me do it anyway. I really just want to sleep in their bed! I only want to be in my crate when I am nervous or need a break from the action. 

My favorite thing to do is chew on toys. You should see all the toys my foster family has out for me. I love them all! I also really like to play with one of the cats. The other cat says mean things so I leave him alone. I want to play with the dog but that can be to much for me and it makes me nervous. 

I like kids but when they move to fast it's kind of scary and I want to go in my crate. I would never bite a kid but if they are high energy it gets to be to much for me so I try to go away. 

I am learning how to walk on a leash. I know I will get it one day but being at the end of a leash with the cars going by makes me want to lay down. 

When I am in the house or in the yard, noises outside do not bother me or make me bark. I only bark when people come to the house that I am not expecting. Or if I am in my crate and I don't want to be. 

It takes me some time to get to know people but if they put in the time and talk nice to me I come around. I just really hope they stay calm because quick movements make me nervous. 

I hope my forever family has a nice cat, probably older kids or no kids, a fenced yard for me to play in, and the willingness and ability to help me learn some tricks like sit and stay.
