Meet Rio! This handsome pup looks like an Oreo cookie and is just as sweet! Rio is a smart and active young dog who loves to train and learn new things, especially when treats are involved. He already knows his name, sit, come, down, "rest" for cooperative care, and a hand target. Rio is a big fan of fetch and tug-of-war, and he's working on his toy-sharing skills. He also enjoys car rides, though he's still learning to be comfortable with restraints. Bath time and nail trims are no problem for this adaptable guy. Rio can be a bit of a "booger" with other dogs, and he's looking for a canine companion who is chill, not easily annoyed, and can help mentor him. Ideally, his new best friend would be a sturdy dog of his size or larger, more of a "rugby player" than a "hockey player" when it comes to play style. He has floppy ears, a freckled nose, and feet that might smell like Frito pie – a true compliment! Rio is not a fan of cats and will not do well in a home with them. He is crate trained and enjoys playing, but also loves to lounge like a potato on the couch. If you're looking for an entertaining and active companion who benefits from extra guidance, Rio might be your perfect match!
