Bio:

Ready to double the golden love in your life? Then look no further — we’re your perfect pair!

Hi, I’m River!
Let me tell you a bit about myself. I’m full of personality and always have a smile on my face. I love everyone I meet, and my foster mom says I’m the perfect house guest. I’ve got plenty of energy to keep things fun, but I also know how to settle down when it’s time to relax. When I need to go outside, I’ll let you know with a bark or a little cry.

Some of my favorite things? Chewing on Nyla bones and long-lasting chews, going for walks, and meeting new people! I sometimes pester my brother to play, and I can be a bit of a bossy boots — but that’s just because I’m the more confident one. He looks to me to lead the way.

And I’m Appa!
Like River said, I’m a bit more reserved, so I lean on her for confidence. I’m a gentle giant with a booming bark that suits my size. I love going for walks too, and I’m happiest when I’m close to my humans — giving kisses and following you around are my specialties!

I can get a little anxious sometimes, but I’m easygoing and just go with the flow. I’ve got a calm nature and a little less energy than my sister, which makes us a great balanced duo.

If you’re ready to open your heart (and your home) to twice the love, we’re ready to meet you!
