About Rio

Meet Rio Rio and his siblings were orphaned and left at a high kill shelter. What?! We rescued them and brought them to the safety of our no kill shelter so we could give them a new beginning. These roly poly 12 week old puppies are gorgeous! Each puppy has unique blue/green eyes, a burnt auburn colored coat and the sweetest personalities. Rio has the most amazing eyes, one blue and one green, and he has a long tail. He's almost completely red except for a smudge just above his little liver nose, and very subtle speckles on his feet. Rio is the largest of the five puppies. The puppies are calm but Rio is the calmest so far. They all love snuggling and we spend a lot of time socializing them so they know what love feels like. We think they are Australian cattle dog (red heeler) and chi mixes. They are small and don't seem to be growing fast (could top out around 30lbs.) These pups are amazing, not mouthy, very gentle, fun, affectionate, curious and ready to find their furever homes. If you love a heeler mix, and a cute little wrinkled face, Rio and his siblings are just about perfect. Get your application in at www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org.
