Rio

Meet Rio, your gentle, cuddly companion! Rio may be a senior gentleman with just two teeth left, but don’t let that fool you — he is full of love, charm and playful spirit. This small, long-haired Chihuahua quickly steals hearts with his calm, affectionate nature and silly bursts of play. He’s happiest snuggled up close, but he also enjoys chasing after toys and playing a gentle game of fetch.

Rio has done wonderfully with both adults and kids, and he’s a social butterfly with other dogs. In his foster home, he adjusted right into a routine, sharing space beautifully with other senior pups and playful companions. At night, Rio curls right into bed and sleeps peacefully. During the day, he walks well on a leash, enjoys his strolls and greets the world with a calm, easygoing spirit.

Rio would love a home with another small dog to keep him company, but he’d also thrive as the center of someone’s world. His perfect match would be someone who’s just as obsessed with him, ready to share a warm lap, gentle walks and plenty of love. This senior guy has a big heart, a light spirit and he’s ready to spend his golden years being cherished.

If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly little friend to brighten your days, Rio is waiting to curl right into your heart. Fill out an adoption application to schedule a meet-and-greet with him today!
