You’ve probably heard the saying, "Too clever for your own good"—that’s Rio down to a science. At just over 4 years old, this Border Collie mix is sharp, active, and thrives when there’s structure and tasks to do. He has the true heart and spirit of a working dog; loyal and intelligent, Rio genuinely comes alive when he’s busy or has a job to complete. In his last home, Rio’s protective instincts didn’t suit a growing family, so he’s on the lookout for a better fit. He’d shine brightest on a ranch or property where he can help with chores and livestock, putting his strong work ethic to use. Downtime for Rio means fetch or keeping himself busy with toys—he likes both. Rio does well with other dogs too, and his medium-length coat fits his rugged, outdoorsy personality. If you need a focused, energetic, and loyal companion for your working property, Rio might be your perfect match. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
