My story

Rigo is a 3-year-old American Village Dog (a 75 lb shepherd mix from Mexico City). Hes an amazing companionloyal, affectionate, and always close to his people. He is the most loveable cuddly big guy, and is happiest with free rein to run around. At home, hes very calm and laid back, and loves lots of cuddles. At the same time, he has a playful, goofy side that comes alive the moment he hears the word walk. He enjoys adventures and activity but also has an excellent off-switch indoors. Rigos personality and temperament is what we love the most about him. He is highly trainable. Once you are part of Rigos pack, he is forever loyal. Behaviour: In his early life he lived with two other dogs just fine, and he has played at doggy daycare for many years. His ideal home: Rigo needs an experienced and confident dog owner who wants to take him on adventures and outdoors often. He would thrive with plenty of land to explore, and a calm household to activate his off switch when he comes in. He loves following his person, hiking, swimming, even just driving in the car. If hes with you, hes happy. Some of his best qualities: Sweet, loving, and very affectionate Calm and relaxed in the home Playful and energetic when its time for adventure Loves water and swimming Reliable off-leash with e-collar training Does not wander or run away Loyal and deeply bonded to his people Neutered Protected against fleas and ticks, and up to date on all vaccinations Please fill out an application here if you would like to meet Rigo https://pawsaboverescue.ca/dog-adoption/ Please visit our website www.pawsaboverescue.ca to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rigo (Rigoberto), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
