My story

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

#A5752686 Say hello to Rio ,  a 1 year 9 month old Rottweiler and the most perfect chonky lover boy you’ll ever meet! With his thicc and sturdy, extra-cuddly build, big toothy grin, and deep warm brown eyes topped with the cutest tiny tan eyebrows, he’s pure rottie perfection. Just past his baby years and having spent time as a stray, Rio would likely benefit from a refresher on puppy basics - leash skills, potty training, manners, and socialization - to help him thrive as you navigate his “teen” era together. He’s got all the best qualities of his breed: loyal, playful, and vibrantly energetic, wrapped up in one sweet package. Despite not having the easiest start, his heart is wide open and ready to soak up all the love and affection a safe, cozy forever home can offer. If you love Rotties, you’re going to fall head over heels for Rio!

- 1 year 9 month old black and brown Rottweiler 

- no medical notes, so Rio may need the standard round of shots and preventatives before you can take him home, as well as a neuter and correction of his cherry eyes (a surprisingly quick and easy fix!)  - but the shelter can likely help with this! Just to be safe, he may need to be adopted on a health waiver - adopter to follow up with own vet for further diagnostics and potential treatment

- came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 1/29/26 as a stray

- big handsome hunk of loving with all the classic rottie quirks 

- after a life on the streets, ready to share his big heart and even bigger personality with a new furever family

- our picture doesn’t do this sweet boy justice - come check out this XL cutie yourself, you won’t regret it!

More about this rescue

United Hope for Animals is a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to creating a world where our relationship with animals is guided by compassion and responsibility. We actively work toward bringing an end to the needless suffering of companion animals through community-based programs here at home and across the border.

The United States euthanizes more than one million dogs and cats each year. Through our Shelter Support Program, we work in partnership with local shelters to reduce this number by raising public awareness about shelter adoption and facilitating rescue and adoption of sheltered animals. In the process, we bring dignity and hope to the many lives that would otherwise pass anonymously through the animal control system.
