Meet Rio! This adorable pup looks just like an Oreo cookie with his handsome black and white coat, floppy ears, and a freckled snoot. Rio is a smart and energetic young dog who loves to learn and is highly food-motivated. He knows his name, "sit," "come," "down," and has mastered "rest for cooperative care" and a hand target. He enjoys playing fetch and tug, and is working on his sharing skills with toys. While he can be a bit mouthy and boisterous during play, he's eager to please and would thrive with a patient owner who can provide extra guidance and positive reinforcement. Rio is crate-trained and enjoys car rides, though he is still learning to be comfortable with restraints. He's not a fan of cats and would do best in a home with a sturdy, chill dog friend who is not easily annoyed and can help mentor him in his doggy social skills.
Ideal Home
Rio would do best in a home with a sturdy, chill dog friend that is his size or larger, and is not easily annoyed. He is not a good fit for homes with cats.
Ongoing Health
Rio is a healthy pup. Bath time and nail trims are no problem.
Training & Support
Rio is a quick learner and loves to train for treats! He is working on his table manners and sharing his toys. He can be a bit of a "booger" with other dogs, so he needs a patient owner who can provide extra guidance. He is not a fan of being restrained in the car, and this is an area that is being worked on.
