My story

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

Meet Rio – The Life of the Paw-ty! 🐾🎉

If you're looking for a furry friend who’s equal parts cute, sweet, and totally adventure-ready… allow us to introduce Rio, a 3-year-old shepherd mix with a heart as big as his smile! 💛

This boy is a total catch—Rio’s got those classic good looks, the kind of face you just have to smooch, and a personality that makes everyone fall for him in about 0.2 seconds. He’s that dog who instantly lights up a room—or a backyard—with his goofy charm and happy tail.

Rio is a social butterfly when it comes to other pups! He lives for doggy playdates and makes new canine friends like it’s his full-time job. Whether it’s a game of chase, a romp in the grass, or just a little nose-to-nose chat, Rio is all in. 🐕🐾

He’s got just the right amount of energy to keep life exciting—loves being outside, exploring, and stretching those legs—but when playtime is done, he’s more than happy to settle in for some snuggles and chill time with his humans. 🐶🌳🛋️

Rio would thrive in a home where he can get plenty of love, doggy pals, and time to enjoy the great outdoors. Trust us—he’s one of those dogs who makes every day just a little brighter.

Ready to add a little Rio to your life? Come meet him—you won’t be able to resist that tail wag and sweet shepherd grin!
