Meet Rio, a charming 8-lb Rat Terrier mix, balancing playful energy with a love for cuddles. At 1-2 years old, he enjoys chasing squeaky toys, playing with other dogs, and leash walks. Rio is best suited for families with older children due to his vocal play style. After burning off energy, he transforms into a devoted lap dog, eager to snuggle. He would thrive in any loving home, whether an apartment or a house, with a family mindful of his small size.
