Rio

Meet Rio! She's a stunning young Shepherd mix, possibly with a touch of Whippet, who's as graceful as she is intelligent. Born around May 1, 2025, Rio currently weighs about 30 pounds and is growing into her lean, athletic build. We expect her to be a medium-sized dog when fully grown! Rescued from an abandoned home in Texas, this sweet girl has shown incredible resilience, friendliness, and a gentle spirit that promises a wonderful companionship. While she can be a bit reserved initially, Rio is blossoming beautifully each day, revealing an affectionate and loyal personality. Her foster family describes her as super smart, eager to please, and full of potential—a pup who will thrive with love and a family dedicated to her continued learning and growth.

Ideal Home

Rio would be a wonderful companion for an active person or family looking for a bright, loving dog to share life's adventures with. Homes with children 10 years and over are recommended to ensure the best fit for both Rio and her future family.
