🌟 Meet the dazzling Rio! 🌟 This stunning black beauty has quite a captivating backstory, and trust me, it is worth every ounce of your attention. Transferred from the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility at just 6 days old, he’s been on a journey alongside his mom, Amara, and a whole pack of 10 siblings! Now, let’s get into Rio’s personality. He’s not just your average pup. Oh no! He’s a lovely follower who learns best from well-behaved dogs, making it essential that he has strong and positive canine leaders around him. Rio has a high prey drive, which means he’ll do best with larger dogs that can handle his zest for life! 🌈 A nurturing home that offers solid guidance and lots of love is where he will truly thrive. Imagine the wonderful bond he could develop with his new family! On a health note, our boy Rio has been diagnosed with a valgus deformity, affectionately called "knock knee." But don’t fret! Corrective surgery isn’t necessary, and though he might be a tad more prone to arthritis later, he's currently on daily joint supplements to keep him sprightly. Just think of the adventures you could share without needing any drastic changes to your everyday exercise routine! Rio is not just a furry ball of fun; he’s a heartwarming character who’s ready to become the center of someone’s universe. It’s time to step into his story and give him the loving home he so richly deserves. And just a little reminder—keep your visits to see him healthy and joyous—if you’re feeling under the weather, please reschedule! Now, if you feel that delightful tug at your heartstrings, don’t hesitate! Apply to adopt the beautiful Rio through the Buddy App! He’s just waiting for his forever family! 💖
