My Motto

Fresh Out of Woofs

Meet River – Your Adventure Buddy for Life

But life hasn’t always been kind to her. River was abandoned, and while she’s worked hard to build trust, she’s still learning that love can last. She’ll need a little time—and a lot of patience—to open up. But once she does, her loyalty is unwavering, her affection endless. River thrives in a calm, structured home where she can be the only pet and continue her training. She’s not one for chaos or canine roommates, but she is ready to bond deeply with her human. Think trail runs, quiet nights, and a best friend who will never leave your side.

This isn’t just a dog. River is a commitment. A reward. A journey. And for the right person, she’ll be the greatest one you’ll ever take.

If you’re ready for a true partner—one who needs you as much as you need her—River is waiting.

Adoption Donation for All Dogs and Puppies:

$495

This donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law and helps to offset the costs that we have incurred for the dog’s care and housing during his or her stay with our group. The minimum adoption donation does not entirely cover the investments that we have made in the dogs, so if you are in a position to give more, we would be honored to receive your additional donation. All adoption donations go directly toward the needs of our dogs.

All dogs adopted through GSROC are spayed or neutered, current on their vaccines and de-wormed. Because the minimum Adoption Donation rarely covers the costs associated with each dog, we ask that adopters who are in a position to give additional funds do so at their discretion.
