RIO's Story

This social puppy is full of energy and personality and is looking for a home ready to guide them through the next stage of life. They have lived with other dogs and did well, making them a great candidate for a canine companion. Like many young dogs, they will need patience, consistency, and continued training to build good manners and confidence. Their history with kids and cats is unknown, so slow introductions and thoughtful management will help set them up for success.

Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region's Adoption Policy
You’ll notice each pet will have an info card attached to their kennel with an ID number. Write down this ID number so a matchmaker can give you more information. You will also be asked to complete an adopter survey to help our matchmakers assist you in finding a new pet that’s just the right fit. We limit visitations to two pets per family, per day. This ensures everyone interested in adopting has the opportunity to spend time with their potential new family member. Puppies and kittens 5 months and younger are not able to visit before going home for adoption. Please speak with a staff member for details. Once your visit is complete, you will meet with a customer service representative. We will review any special medical or behavior information and offer tips on how to help you get settled in. Please bring a photo ID and review any pet restrictions that may exist within your lease/rental agreement, HOA bylaws, or city’s ordinances.
