Pio (20260817-01)

My story

Pio is an incredibly affectionate dog. He is very friendly and loving toward people who show him kindness and affection. He can jump into the car by himself, does not get carsick, and is comfortable even on long journeys. He eats well, enjoys walks, and will become a wonderful life partner for his family. Pio was rescued when he was less than 10 days old. There were repeated reports about stray dogs in the area, and sadly, Pio lost his mother at a very young age. He and his siblings, Jio and Dio, were captured and brought to a fire station. Although he had to grow up without his mother and was raised with bottle feeding, Pio grew into a healthy, brave, and wonderful dog without any health problems.

He mainly barks to alert his family when someone arrives or when he hears an unusual sound. Food Aggressive: no Current Food: Pio is not picky with food. He currently eats Acana Free-Run Duck or soft food. Walks on leash: yes, when excited, Pio may pull on the leash, but most of the time he walks happily beside his person. Leash reactive to people or dogs: no, when he sees another dog during walks, he may try to approach quickly, but when told "No," he gives up quickly and listens well Rides well in cars: yes, Pio is excellent in the car! He has been riding in cars frequently since he was a puppy and can handle long-distance trips without problems. He usually rides in a car seat. Destructive: no, Pio only destroys his own toys Needs a home with a yard: a yard would be wonderful, but it is not necessary Needs a home with another dog: no Can live in an apartment: yes, Pio has already lived comfortably in a small Korean apartment. Apartment life is not a problem for him. Please visit our website niagaradogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.
