Story
Rio Is 12 Years 8 Months and 10lbs I have had him for 5 years now I adopted him in 2020 He is a loving, sweet and only sour when it comes to changing his diaper (2 Years Now) Other than that he just wants to be around, he doesnt like to be alone, so he would be great for someone that works from home He currently wears diapers because he Is like a baby all over again, I took him to the vet he has perennial hernias. Ive just been trying to love him through it but I know he needs TLC. Im trying to find him a new home to prevent the choice of surrendering him to the Humane Society for Treatment or Letting Him Go. The fee is just to make sure he goes to a capable home but can be lowered

Story
I am a breeder-release dog, and my past hasn’t been the easiest. I spent most of my life living in a crate and didn’t get much chance to learn what it means to be part of a family or to trust people. Because of that, the world can feel a little big and scary to me at first. I may be shy and unsure when we first meet, but underneath I am a gentle soul who truly wants love — I just don’t fully understand it yet. I’m learning every day that kind hands bring comfort, soft voices mean safety, and I don’t have to be alone anymore. I will need a patient home that will go slow with me and let me come out of my shell at my own pace. With time, kindness, and consistency, I promise you will get to watch something very special — a dog discovering happiness and love for the very first time.
