About Rio

Rio is a cheerful and incredibly smart pup who seems far more mature than his tender age suggests. At just three months old, this mixed-breed Shepherd already shows off his curiosity, often tilting his head as he tries to figure things out. He listens well, coming when called, and has already mastered basic commands like sit and doing his business on cue. Food-motivated and eager to please, Rio finds training enjoyable and rewarding. He’s playful with his toys and chew bones, and he rarely misplaces his chewing habits. A fan of car rides and outdoor adventures, Rio enjoys both leash time and off-leash exploration, always staying close. He’s gentle with his fellow pups and doesn’t guard his food, graciously sharing treats and chew toys. This lovable, belly rub enthusiast is aiming to find a family that will appreciate all the joy he brings. Whatever your home looks like, Rio could easily fit right in. What are you waiting for?
