Aurio thrives with active families who enjoy outdoor time and play—her fenced yard dreams are real. Fetch is her favorite game, and she won’t miss a chance for a car ride or some fun outside. With children, Aurio shines. She’s loving and patient, making her an excellent friend for kids. Around other dogs, she can be protective on leash but shows promise with calm canine companions when introduced the right way. Cats aren’t in her circle, so feline-free homes are best.
