OK, folks, this is getting to be crazy!!! I've been at the shelter since April of last year and I see all my buds getting homes. I can't understand why it's not happening for me. But, let me tell you, I'm a terrific dog. I get along with all the dogs at the shelter. I love going for rides in the car (I'd help you drive if you needed it!) and am a very good walker on the leash. I don't pull or tug, I can walk fast if you want to start an exercise program, or slow if you just want to enjoy the day.

I'm not a yappy guy at all, when I was in a foster home, I paid attention to what the other dogs did, but I never created a ruckus on my own. I'm a fast learner too, I've mastered the "sit", "shake" and "wait" commands. I don't chew on things either, except the toys that are my own.

So, there it is, folks. I'm not a handful, except a handful of love.

Please give me a chance, I'm a sweet, sweet love bug. But, be prepared to be second fiddle to me, I get attention everywhere I go (have you seen how cute my ears are?).

Come see Rio at Dog and Kitty City!
