✨ Meet Rio, a heartwarming pup whose journey is nothing short of inspirational! This charming boy has had quite the transformation, and now he's ready to find a forever home where he can spread joy and love! 💖 Rio started his life in South Texas, where he faced some serious challenges. A kind-hearted volunteer noticed him, and it was love at first sight! With the help of dedicated folks, he made his way to us for essential medical treatment. Once a tiny, emaciated puppy fighting for his life against parasites, this resilient boy is now a vibrant, healthy 2-year-old weighing 41 lbs. 🎉 This delightful dog is the definition of sweet! He adores the company of other dogs, but we must gently remind everyone that he’s not a fan of kitties. 🐾 He's intelligent and eager to be around people who shower him with affection, which he truly deserves after his tough start in life. There’s something magical about the appreciation dogs show when they experience a second chance! But wait, there’s more—Rio is up for a one-week home trial before adoption! 🌟 How cool is that? Just imagine having this bundle of joy temporarily in your life, and watching the transformation happen right in front of you. However, to make sure this happy boy thrives, adopters must have another dog, no apartments, and no children under 8 years old. It’s all about finding the perfect setup for our buddy! So, are you ready to welcome this affectionate boy into your life? Explore the joy he can bring by *applying through the Buddy App* today! Don’t let this chance slip away—Rio's waiting for you! 🚀
