About Rio

Rio is a lively, smart puppy eager to explore life. At just 3 months old, he’s still figuring out the ropes of being a dog and tackles new challenges with enthusiasm. He's currently honing his skills in leash walking and potty training and is learning to play without using his mouth too much. Rio will thrive best in a home with older kids, ideally those with dog experience, as he is still young and requires guidance. While we’re unsure of his behavior around other pets, slow introductions are advisable. He’s not suited for apartment living; a backyard where he can zoom around would be perfect for his playful spirit. If you’re ready to bring Rio into your life, schedule an adoption appointment to meet him today!
