About Rio

Meet Rio! This strikingly handsome Siberian Husky is as sweet as he is soft, resembling a squishy, life-sized stuffed animal. While you might be tempted to hug him right away, it’s best to let him come to you first. Rio’s friendly demeanor and confidence make him a joy to be around. He loves making new friends, both canine and human. In his downtime, he enjoys cuddling up with people, proving he's a bit of a lap dog. Rio is full of energy, ready for walks, zoomies, and splashing around in water. Even while he plays with toys, he never forgets to settle down beside you at the end of the day. While he has done well with children and gets along famously with dogs who match his vibe, he finds cats a bit too fun to chase. To ensure harmony at home, any future feline housemate will need supervision and clear boundaries. **If you’re interested in adopting, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and visit during our open hours (Wednesday-Sunday, 12-4).** What are you waiting for?
