Meet the fabulous Rio! 🎉 This charming little guy is still searching for his forever family, and he’s overdue for love and laughter! 😍 Rio, a 3-year-old rat terrier mix weighing in at just 20 pounds, is ready to bring joy to your home. Having come to us as an owner surrender due to an eviction, Rio’s heart is full of affection, and he’s currently thriving in his foster home. However, it’s time for him to find his permanent place in the world! 🏡 Let’s talk about Rio’s personality. He’s a friendly boy, but he can be a touch timid when meeting new faces or strolling into unfamiliar spaces. Think of him like a cute little flower 🌼—he just needs a bit of time to bloom. Once he feels comfortable, his loving nature will shine brighter than ever! And guess what? There’s absolutely no aggression here—just a gentle soul who might need a little extra love at the start. But wait, there’s more! Rio adores other dogs and would love to share his home with at least one furry buddy. He had a best friend in his previous home 🐾, and you can just imagine the tail-wagging fun they had together! For those with kids, Rio is ready to join a family with children aged 10 years and older. Rest assured, this wonderful boy is neutered and up to date with all his vaccinations, making him ready for his next adventure! 🌈 Now is the time to open your heart and home to a loving companion like Rio.
