Honey Nut Cheerio

My story

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Meet Honey Nut Cheerio! Hi there… I’m Rio, a 2-year-old Lab mix with golden-green eyes, the squishiest face, and a heart full of love just waiting to bloom At first glance, I might seem a little shy... I may flinch or hide behind a couch when I don’t know you yet. But give me just a little time, a lot of patience, and some gentle love—and you’ll unlock the goofiest, cuddliest, most loyal little shadow you’ve ever met! I’m a professional bird watcher, a toy collector, and an elite-level napper. I’ll follow you from room to room just to be near you, and don’t be surprised if I try to sit in your lap like a baby—I just want to be as close to your heart as possible! Crate trained Potty trained Leash + house trained No accidents or barking when you leave (I’m a perfect gentleman!) My back legs are a little bowed, which makes my walk extra wiggly and adorable (trust me, you’ll laugh every day!). I might be a little unsure of other animals right now, but I’m curious and willing to try—with patience and slow intros, I might love a fur sibling one day. My dream home? A calm household with older kids (10+), where I can take my time learning to trust again. I don’t mind apartments, small or big yards—I just want someone who’ll help me feel safe and cherished. A word from my foster: “Just be patient and give this sweetheart a week to get to know and trust you. You will not be sorry. As Rio has opened up, he’s become one of the silliest, sweetest, most affectionate, loyal dogs. He will make the best companion for the right person. ” If you’re looking for a silly, snuggly, loyal little lovebug to call your best friend—I’m your guy.
