Meet Rio!
Rio is a beautiful, graceful, and smart young Shepherd mix, estimated to be born around May 1, 2025. She currently weighs about 30 pounds and is expected to be a medium-sized dog when fully grown. Rescued from an abandoned home in Texas, Rio is a resilient, friendly, and gentle soul eager to find her forever family. She is a quick learner, already house and crate trained, and even working on ringing a bell to signal when she needs to go outside! Rio is great with other dogs and would enjoy a canine companion, though it's not a requirement. She's also been gentle and friendly with children and is improving her leash manners. While a bit reserved initially, Rio is blossoming into an affectionate and loyal companion. Her fosters describe her as super smart and eager to please, ready to thrive with a family committed to her continued growth and learning. Rio would be a wonderful companion for an active person or family looking for a bright and loving dog to share life's adventures.
