Rio's Story

Meet Rio!<br/>Hi, I'm Rio! I'm a 9 month old puppy with a whole lot of love to give and a whole lot of life to discover!<br/>When I first arrived in care, I was a very scared boy who needed some extra hands on help to build my confidence.<br/>But look at me now! I've come such a long way, and l've discovered that the world can be a pretty wonderful place.<br/>These days, I'm the sweetest boy, and I LOVE giving out doggy kisses and soaking up all the love I can get.<br/>One of my absolute favourite things is going for walks with my volunteers. I get SO excited when it's time to head out and explore! And if you're looking for a water dog, I'm your guy! Plove all things summer and would happily spend my days enjoying the sunshine and having fun in a lake!<br/>Now, I'll be honest... I'm still working on the whole vehicle thing. I'm not quite ready to jump in all by myself just yet, but with a little help getting into the vehicle, I'm getting better and better! I'm a work in progress, but l'm a very smart boy and I learn FAST.<br/>And have you noticed my one beautiful blue eye? It makes me extra unique and, if I do say so myself, extra handsome!<br/>Right now, I'm happiest having all the love to myself. I haven't been ready to make new doggy friends yet, and cats aren't really my favourite either. But that's okay! I still have lots to learn, and I'm taking things one step at a time.<br/>I'm still very much a puppy, which means I'll need a family who is ready to continue my training and help me learn all the things a good dog needs to know. But I promise, I'm a VERY smart boy, and I pick things up quickly!<br/>1 also have LOTS of puppy energy, so I'm looking for an active home that will keep me busy and give me plenty of opportunities to explore. An acreage would be pretty amazing too!<br/>If you're looking for a sweet, handsome, energetic boy who will shower you with kisses and be your best adventure buddy, maybe I'm your guy!<br/>Come stop in and say hello! I'd love to meet you!

Peace River SPCA's Adoption Policy
We require an adoption application to be filled out for every animal before they can be adopted! If there is a specific animal you are interested in adding to your family please call us at 1-780-624-3633 and we would be happy to answer any questions! We offer trials as well! A trial is where you can take the furry friend you have been approved for home for up to 2 weeks to make sure that everything is a good fit before fully adopting them! A lot of our animals have come to us as strays so we don't have background information about many of the animals we have here with us, so we always encourage doing a trial before fully adopting just to make sure everyone can adjust to each other as it can be very stressful for some of them to leave the shelter and go to a new environment!
