*RIO

My story

Meet Rio, a young chocolate Labrador Retriever with a heart as big as his soulful eyes. When Rio first arrived at the shelter, the world felt a little too big and scary—but he`s slowly discovering that it’s filled with kind people, tasty treats, and lots of tail-wagging playtime with doggy friends.Now that he’s starting to come out of his shell, we’re seeing glimpses of the fun-loving, playful pup he’s meant to be. Rio is still learning the ropes and will thrive in a home that has the time, patience, and love to help him grow into the confident, well-mannered dog he’s destined to become.If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle boy to nurture and share adventures with, Rio might just be your perfect match.Rio has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home.  Looking for a buddy for your dog?  Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we`re a match!  Check out his playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm.
