About Rio

Rio is a lively Jack Russell mix, bringing joy and happiness to each day. This four-year-old will make every moment feel special, especially when he's giving out kisses or playing with his squeaky toys. Intelligent and quick to learn, Rio is both house-trained and crate-trained. His energetic nature means he enjoys ‘herding’ his people, making him unsuitable for homes with small children, as he might unintentionally cause a ruckus. He gets along best with dogs around his size or slightly smaller but can adapt to larger dogs with the right introductions. Rio has received training from FIDOS SCI Coal Township and knows commands like ‘Sit’, ‘Stay’, and ‘Roll-over’. He's a friendly boy who will thrive in an active home where he can show off his skills and charm. To bring Rio into your life, you must meet him at our rescue center in Mt Carmel, PA, and complete the adoption application ahead of time. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
