Rio is the sweet, steady heart of the litter. He's the kind of puppy who loves to be scooped up and will happily curl into your neck for a snuggle after playtime. Affectionate and easygoing, Rio has a wonderful balance of playful energy and gentle sweetness. He enjoys romping with his siblings just as much as he enjoys settling in for some quiet cuddle time. Rio approaches new situations with a thoughtful mix of curiosity and caution. He's not the first to charge in, but he's not timid either, he simply takes a moment to assess and then joins the fun. That balanced temperament makes him a great candidate for many types of homes. Rio is being raised alongside an extremely patient cat in his foster home who is teaching him manners every day. He's learning what does and doesn't fly with a feline friend and would likely do well in a home with a dog-savvy cat. Rio would thrive with a family ready for a loving, adaptable companion who can play hard and snuggle harder. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, and is being fostered in North Denver.
