Rio has been overlooked for far too long, even though his foster family adores him. He lost his original home due to eviction, arriving with a few other dogs—and while his buddies have all been adopted, Rio is the last one still searching for a place to call his own. Living in New Milford, CT, Rio is a small rat terrier and pit bull mix who’s about 4 years old. He clocks in at roughly 20 lbs with a sleek black and white short coat, and he’s already neutered and fully vaccinated. Meeting new people or adjusting to unfamiliar situations makes him a little shy, but his nerves pass quickly once he has a chance to settle in. Rio doesn’t show any aggression—just some initial nerves. He really thrives with another friendly dog and would be happiest in a home that already has a canine companion. Kids are just fine too, as long as they’re 10 or older. House trained and eager to bond, Rio is a gentle, affectionate companion who’s just waiting for his turn. Ready to fall in love?
