Rio, a lively and spirited 12-year-old Springer Spaniel, is really keen to have an opportunity to find his forever family.

This delightful canine companion is in need of a home with adults or children aged 10 and above, where he can receive abundant love and affection. Rio’s only requirement is a home without other pets, as he needs to be the centre of attention.

This affectionate little fellow embodies the true spirit of a springer spaniel and has an insatiable love for toys. Rio dreams of having a garden, where he can frolic around, chasing balls and enjoying playtime with his family. His adventurous nature shines through as he eagerly jumps into the car, ready for thrilling escapades. Rio’s favourite destinations are grassy fields and woodland areas, where he can freely explore and satisfy his curiosity. It is worth noting that Rio is exceptionally well-behaved indoors and is also fully house-trained.

Despite his liveliness, Rio is incredibly sweet and affectionate, always eager for cuddles. At the end of a busy day, he happily curls up in his cosy bed or jumps on the sofa, seeking a snuggle and some relaxation.

With his infectious energy and loving nature, Rio is prepared to bring endless joy to the fortunate family that can offer him the loving home he deserves.
