About Rio

Rio is looking for a loving home due to changes in his living situation. This sweet Labrador Retriever mix is great with kids and other dogs, making him an ideal family pet. At three years old, he's full of love and energy, ready to bring joy into your home. Rio still needs to be neutered and is only partially vaccinated, so his new family will need to continue his vaccinations and arrange for his neutering. It's important that he finds a safe, supportive environment, where someone has the time and space to care for him. This is a tough decision for his current owner, who truly wants the best for him. If you're seriously interested in welcoming Rio into your life, please reach out. Share a bit about yourself, your home, and any other pets you have. Start your journey together! Apply now.
