Rio - Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Meet tiny tyke Rio! This little guy is a little comical with his fancy haircut and prancing gait, he brings plenty of personality wherever he goes. He’s loving having furry friends to play with and has been a confident explorer, venturing out into the yard without a hint of fear or hesitation. He quickly mastered the steps, and you’ll often find him perched regally on one, watching the antics of his furry friends like he’s overseeing the whole operation.

Rio loves making new friends, both furry and human, and he’s always happy to soak up some attention. When he’s ready for a little downtime, he’ll happily settle into your lap for a good snuggle. With his tiny size, playful antics, and adorable prancing ways, Rio is sure to bring plenty of laughs, love, and cuddles to his forever home!

Rio is estimated to be 9 weeks old and 3.5 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, and have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
