River is a sweet and submissive tri-color Beagle boy. He is young dog, estimated age 6 - 8 months old and tips the scale at 20 lbs but he may put on a bit extra weight as he matures. River is good with other dogs and loves playtime in the yard. Beagles are known to follow their noses so River needs a securely fenced yard to be safe and he has a tendency to chew things unless he has chew toys that attracts his attention. Training will be required to make River the best canine citizen he can be.

River is neutered and ready for a new home. He needs a home where someone is at home most of the time because when he feels lonely he will bark to attract attention. He sleeps through the night in a crate if it is placed in the same room as his humans. Again with patience and training this may resolve and things might become different when/if he can be left alone at home without being confined. River is not a compulsive chewer but gets carried away occasionally and chew up household items. He has only been in his foster home a few days and he settles down easily and is calmer than most new foster dogs, animal shelters are stressful.
