Meet Rio, the stunning chocolate nugget of joy! 🍫 At 8 years old and weighing 60 pounds, this delightful boy is bursting with affection and needs a new home where he can shine. Unfortunately, Rio has to leave his home because the resident Boxer isn’t a fan of sharing, but that doesn’t dampen his spirit! Rio is an absolute gem who thrives on companionship. He’ll eagerly fetch a ball for you and loves to snuggle by your legs—yes, that’s his special way of showing love! 🥰 While Rio has a high prey drive (watch out, chipmunks, squirrels, and even cats! 🐿️🐰), he’s been raised with a French Bulldog and plays wonderfully with him, proving he’s all about friendly canine interactions. He’s quite the social butterfly at the dog park but might need a gentle nudge to back off and give others their space. With a love for long walks and a prong collar to help with his excitement, he’s ready to explore the world alongside you! 🌍 He’s also a vocal charmer who enjoys chatting away and even loves bath time—yes, you heard that right! 🚿 At the groomer, he behaves like a gentleman when getting his nails done. Rio does have a special dietary requirement due to urinary crystals, so he nibbles on prescription Hills U/D food. 😅 And since he’s a tad protective of his food, he prefers to eat in his crate—consider it his cozy little dining room! Not to mention, he’s only been around teenagers, so he’s looking for a home where he can thrive. Are you ready to make this vibrant boy a part of your family? Whether you want him as a solo companion or alongside another dog, just remember to gently guide him when it's time to chill out after playtime. He’s just waiting for you to brighten up his life!
