Rio looks remarkably like his beautiful moms. While he can be a little shy when faced with something new, his confidence grows more every day. Rio has a thoughtful nature and a sweet personality that shines through once he feels comfortable. He's learning that the world is full of good things and is blossoming in foster care.
Rio is part of the Road Trip Litter, a special group of nine puppies being raised by two devoted moms, Thelma and Louise. Their sweet blonde terrier mix mothers were surrendered from a homeless camp in hopes of a safer future before the summer heat arrived. Since then, Rio has been raised in a loving foster home alongside his siblings. Born on May 1, 2026, Rio is expected to weigh between 10 and 20 pounds when fully grown.
