Rio's Story

Let us introduce you to Rio! <br/><br/>Rio is a 9-week-old mixed breed puppy who is finally starting his second chance. Rio and his littermates had an unimaginably tough start to life when they were discarded in a river, but thanks to a kind human who stepped in, they were rescued and given the chance they deserved. Now? They are thriving! <br/><br/>Rio has a sweet, easygoing personality that already sets him apart. While he’s still very much a puppy, Rio is noticeably more laid back than his littermate—think calm(ish) vibes with just the right dose of playful curiosity.<br/><br/>Rio does great with everyone in his foster home, including his littermate, human kiddos, and a resident dog. He takes new experiences in stride and is happy to go with the flow, whether that means joining in on playtime or settling in for some quiet cuddles. His gentle nature makes him a wonderful fit for a variety of homes, especially those looking for a puppy who balances fun with a softer, more relaxed demeanor.<br/><br/>Of course, like any young pup, Rio is still learning all the basics and will thrive with a family committed to continued training, socialization, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a sweet, well-rounded puppy who’s equal parts playful and chill, Rio might just be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Rio is looking for a forever home with an active family who can provide the mental and physical enrichment a growing puppy needs. He’d love to have canine friends and/or human kiddos to grow up alongside.<br/><br/>Ready to meet Rio?
