About Rios Located in
Rios isn't just searching for another place to stay—she’s hoping to find a new person to anchor her world. After the loss of her beloved owner, Rios has been left trying to navigate a life that suddenly feels unmoored. This striking black Malinois/German Shepherd mix has a sharp mind and plenty of drive, thriving on engagement, play, and a strong connection to her person. She loves learning and excels at obedience: Rios knows all the basics, responds to recall, heels politely on-leash, and is even off-leash trained with an e-collar. Her blue ball goes everywhere with her, and tug-of-war is her absolute favorite game—she’s got a reliable “out” to prove it. At home, Rios is well-mannered, eager to please, and happiest when she’s close by. Her main area for growth is the crate; she needs slow, positive training with lots of treats and encouragement to make crate time feel safe and rewarding. Rios gets along well with other dogs but is not suited for homes with cats. She’s a loyal, engaged companion ready to bond deeply again with someone special. Ready to fall in love?
