Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Aloha! Rio here--remember that Cyndi Lauper song “Boys Just Wanna Have Fun!” She wrote that song about me; it goes like this: Some people take a beautiful dog/and hide him away from the rest of the world/I want to be the dog who walks with you in the sun/Oh boys they want to have fun/Oh boys just want to have fun! I am a 5-year old Poodle/Basset/Doxie mix who wants to have fun! I’m wonderful with kids, even little kids. Yup! But I’m not just all about fun. I’m about being good too. I walk easy on a leash, and at my last home I was housetrained so good that I got to hang out wherever I wanted whenever my people went away. They’re moving now and they said there’s no room for me. How come? I don’t take up much space at all. I fit in a lap. I could fit in your lap. I can even fit in your heart. I didn’t eat here for a while because I was hiding inside, I missed my people, but then the volunteers got me some special food, and sat in my kennel with me while I ate, and I ate every last morsel, and then I rolled my little, happy, squeaky pig over with my paw! Yup! It took love to make me want to have fun again. How about you? If you’ve been hiding away lately but would like to walk with me in the sun contact Tri-County Animal Rescue Center on Facebook, call 814-918-2032, or email: contactus@Tricounty-arc.org
