Meet the delightful and utterly charming Rio! 🎉 This young pup is just six months old and weighs a solid 39 pounds of pure joy. Unfortunately, he was returned to rescue after his first family didn’t dedicate the time needed to train him. They mentioned he had a tendency to chew on everything in sight—oh, the energy of a puppy! 🐶 But let me tell you, this sweet boy is eager to please, and with a little guidance and patience, he’s bound to be the best companion you could dream of. Rio has a heart of gold and gets along fabulously with other dogs, cats, and even respectful children! 🐾 Imagine the fun you'll have watching him play and frolic—his playful spirit is infectious! He’s looking for a family who will embrace his enthusiasm and provide him with the love and training he deserves. As always, it’s important to find the right match for both Rio and your own home lifestyle. Rescuers are advocates for the dogs, placing their needs first. So please remember, it’s not about who comes first, but about finding the perfect fit! 🏡 For your peace of mind, they may even want to see photos of your living space to ensure it’s puppy-ready. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt, and don’t forget—applications can be denied to ensure the best possible match. 🌟 If you feel that Rio could be the furry friend you’ve been searching for, why not take the leap? Apply to adopt him through the Buddy App today! You’ll be making a life-changing decision for this lovable pup!
