Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Please fill out an application to start the process to meet RIO! Meet and greets will be held in TARZANA, CA. We would kindly ask that you only send in an application if you are serious about adopting!
RIO is 2 yrs old, he weighs 9.8 lbs, and is a male Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix with a gorgeous and healthy white, brown and brindle coat which will require regular grooming and care. Rio came is as a stray and he was completely matted, but still very sweet. He does have a small reducible hernia and due to its small size, the vet who did his neuter decided to just leave it alone. Sometimes they get better on their own.
Rio is housebroken, can use a doggie door; he has good leash manners and is very dog, cat, children and adult friendly, in other words, he’s the perfect dog for any family dynamic. He especially loves children and we would love to see him adopted by young family with children 6 yrs and older due to his small size.
Rio microchipped, current on vaccines and is neutered and he would love nothing more than a forever family to call his own.
