About Rio

Meet Rio! This handsome Siberian Husky is as sweet as he is soft, reminiscent of a life-sized huggable stuffed animal. While a warm embrace might not be his idea of a polite greeting, he'd probably let it slide after a few curious glances. It's easy to see why everyone indulges in daily snuggles with him. Rio is friendly, confident, and loves making new friends, both canine and human. When playtime winds down, he prefers to lounge as a lap dog. With plenty of energy for walks, zoomies, splashing in water, and romping with toys, Rio is still a cuddle bug at heart, content to snuggle at the end of the day. While he's done well with well-matched dogs, he sees cats as a fun distraction to chase, so he needs a home without them. Given his jumpy and mouthy play style, a household with older teenagers or adults would be ideal. Your new best friend is just one click away.
