Here's what the humans have to say about me:
****Rio will be fine with OLDER children, no small children.
Rio is a spunky little guy looking for just the right family that can appreciate all the exuberance that only a Jack Russel can provide!! They are the life of the part little dogs that are so smart they just may be part human, or think they are. Rio's family bought him from a pet store and perhaps were in a little over their head with this little man. They are not the dogs for everyone and need lots of mental stimulation and activity or they will find ways to occupy themselves. My own JRT passed at 16 years old and he was full of life until the very end, he was a huge part of our life. Rio will be that for the right home, one that does not have small children. Apparently a child tried to take his food bowl away from him and he snapped at the child. Rio is simply a delight, he is such a funny little guy, so happy and silly. Of course he is ALL about play but also wants lots of love from his people. We just love his stubby little legs-and they sure can move! Rio is a little gentleman that is going to be a WONDERFUL companion for the right family. His adoption fee is $299, now $275 and he goes home with loads of great supplies to help him get settled in his new home. YES--the adoption fee is a tax deductible donation!!
