Meet Rio! Rio is a 3-year-old male Maltipoo with a playful spirit and a whole lot of love to give. He’s housetrained, knows basic commands, and is a smart little guy who enjoys learning — though he’s still working on curbing his jumping when he gets excited. Rio has high energy and loves to play, making him a great fit for an active family. Most of all, he is incredibly loving with his people and truly thrives on attention and affection. He bonds closely and enjoys being part of the action at home. Because he can feel anxious in very busy, loud, or high-traffic environments, Rio would do best in a calmer setting where he can feel secure and supported. With continued structure, patience, and love, he will continue to grow into an amazing lifelong companion. Rio currently weighs about 23lbs., is approximately 3 years old (est. birth date 01/26/2023), and his adoption fee is $510. Rio has been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped.
