My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rio is a 120-pound mastiff mix with a heart as big as his size! He’s searching for a loving home alongside his little brother and best friend, Bruno. These two are inseparable and share a special bond that has helped them navigate life’s challenges together.

Recently, Rio and Bruno had to say goodbye to their previous home when their owner was forced to move out of the country. Heartbroken, their owner had just one wish: that these beloved companions stay together in their new home.

Rio is the definition of a gentle giant. This loyal, affectionate, and playful boy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and adores children of all ages—even infants! Despite his size, Rio is a big baby who loves cuddles and affection.

Rio and Bruno are currently living in a foster home where they’re thriving with a kind and loving family. Because of this, meet-and-greets are by appointment only.

If you’re ready to welcome double the love, loyalty, and joy into your life, Rio and Bruno are eager to meet you. Apply today to give these two best friends the forever home they deserve!Thank you for showing an interest in our pets. We can never guarantee the breeds of the animals. We do not DNA test. Please feel free to call us with any questions.
