Meet Rio! Age: 8 years Breed: Husky Weight: 49 lbs Status: Heartworm-free and ready for a forever home! Rio came to us as a stray, underweight and heartworm positive — but look at him now! After completing his heartworm treatment and packing on some healthy pounds, this handsome guy is looking and feeling so much better. He still has a sensitive tummy, so he’ll need to stay on his special i/d diet to keep him feeling his best. Rio is a gentle, laid-back soul who enjoys the company of other calm dogs. He’s not a fan of cats (he thinks they’re fun to chase!), so a feline-free home would be best for him. He absolutely loves going on walks and hikes and would make a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys the outdoors but doesn’t need a high-energy dog. I would do best in a home with older kids. The younger kids make me nervous. If you're looking for a loyal, mellow buddy who’s been through a lot and is ready to enjoy the good life, Rio might just be your perfect match. Come meet this sweet guy and see for yourself why we all adore him!
