About this Dog
Meet Rio, living proof that life’s bumps and bruises only add to the plot! After a tough experience (Rio experienced intentional blunt trauma force to the head and was temporarily paralyzed while on the streets of Mexico), Rio has a few extra quirks BUT that just means there’s more love to go around. Thank you to our friends at Crossing Guardians for saving Rio and never turning your back on those that need us the most! Rio is thriving and is here to prove that he is as resilient as he is adorable. Rio is just about 2 years old and approx 40lbs. He is a lover of people and other dogs! You'll instantly smile upon meeting him and know that he's as happy as clam! Apply to have the most fun in life and adopt Rio at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html

Adopt Rio and Receive Rio's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Rio's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Rio's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Rio, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Rio's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Rio was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Rio’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Rio’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Rio’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
