My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rio is just about 4 years old and came to us because his family is expanding and feeling a little overwhelmed with children and dogs. Rio is an amazing little guy, so sweet and friendly. He bonds quickly and LOVES to be held as often as possible. This is not a dog that would do well if left along long hours, he wants to be with his people!

Here is some further info: The Chinese Crested is fine-boned, elegant, and graceful -- and certainly unique-looking.High-spirited and happy, animated and agile, he is an adept climber and jumper who often grips his toys (or his owner's neck) tightly with his paws. This people-oriented "Velcro" dog depends emotionally on his owner and demands a lot of personal interaction, stroking, and rubbing. He doesn't like being left for long without companionship. Reserved with strangers, some lines or individuals are high-strung and/or timid with new people and new situations. Early and frequent socialization will help build a confident, stable temperament. Chinese Cresteds are playful with (though sometimes jealous of) other pets. Though independent and somewhat willful, he is also bright and responds well to the obedience training he needs to control his inquisitive activities. Use reward-based methods.

If this sounds like your kind of dog, send in your application!
