More about Rio - SPECIAL NEEDS

Hi, I’m Rio! I’m a two-year-old chocolate Frenchie, and if you’re wondering—yes, I really am as cute as I sound. I’m just 20 pounds of snuggles, sunshine, and squeaky rubber footballs (mine has an arrow on it, and yes, I take it everywhere...even to the vet!). I’m one of those rare dogs who shares his toys, loves his people, and makes friends wherever I go. I don’t guard; I don’t grumble—I just play! I get along great with kids and other dogs, and if you’ve got a doggy buddy for me, even better. I’m house-trained, I know how to use a doggy door, and I’m an A+ snuggler when it’s time to wind down. Here’s the part where I need a little extra TLC: I have a sensitive tummy, so I’m on a strict diet with my special food and supplements—Purina Elemental and a sprinkle of ForteFlora with vitamin B12. This costs $130 for a 16.5 pound bag. No treats for me (I know, tragic), but I’m still a happy, tail-wiggling boy who doesn’t let it get me down. If you’re looking for a gentle soul with a playful streak and a forever love for plush footballs, I might just be your perfect match.   Because of these  special   needs , BTRNT knows Rio's adopter must be someone committed to giving him the care he deserves. To help him find that perfect match, his adoption fee will be waived-instead, we'll ask for a donation. Thank you for your continued support in our rescue efforts!
