Rio

Meet Rio! Rio came to us as an owner surrender when her humans were moving and could not take her with. We believe she was born in February of 2020. Rio is currently around 50 pounds and we believe she would do best with older kids and adults. Rio is very scared of male humans especially on first meeting, she will bark and become defensive but with time and patience she does get used to them. She goes for a walk with a male dog walker every Saturday and does well. We believe Rio would do okay with other dogs (perhaps close to her size) but we are not sure how she would do with cats. She is a sweet girl that may need a refresher course on potty training and a few basic manners after she goes home. Rio is VERY high energy so she will need a home where she is kept busy / played with a lot! A fence may be ideal so she can run run run! All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition. Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed. If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at [email protected], send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.
