Rio the Australian Shepherd
Rio was the product of two Merles that accidentally bred. We thought that he might have some hearing problems because of it, but it turns out that he is perfectly healthy. We got Rio when he was nine weeks old. We were his fourth family in that short period of time. We thought that it was horrible that he had been passed around so much at such a young age. We already had three dogs but had the room and time for one more. He has such a great personality. He has never met a person or animal that he did not like. He also has no fear whatsoever, a trait that sometimes gets him into trouble. We are very happy to give him a home.
He has such a happy face! Look.. he's smiling in almost every picture :) Rio is so lucky to have wonderful parents with a big heart to bring him in... and his smiles just show how happy he is to be alive! Lots of hugs and bones to Rio :)
What a sweetheart,He sure is a happy boy. Enjoy your new baby. Loads of biscuits and belly rubs
How could anyone give up this beautiful pup? How sad he had so many homes but how great he is in a loving home now.good on his family.
What a sweetie-pie little guy! I'm so glad he's found loving arms at last, and I just know his new brothers and/or sisters will shower acceptance on him enough to more than make up for his early closed doors!
Looks like he's tryin' to dance for joy over his furever family in this shot. What a cute pupperboyo! Congrats.
Rio is OBVIOUSLY overjoyed to have a permanent home. I'm like you, how could some people do that to this little fellow? OMG he is precious! Two of my merles accidentally bred once. 3pups were perfect, one was deaf, but she was taken by some lovely people who absolutely adore her. They said she took over the "pack" of adult dogs already living with them. So what if there are some not perfect animals....there are certainly lots of not perfect people!! Rio is fabulous and I hope you have many year of joy with him. What a face!! Many hugs, belly rubs, kisses and biscuits to this little rascal! XXXX
You never have to be sad again Rio, you have a wonderful home now. Go spoil your family which is what Aussies do!! xx
Comment to under dog.....Rio is called a RED MERLE ....a mix of red/copper/white and maybe some brown.
Rio is so cute and I am bias as I have a Tri-color whom I adore as well as my other dog. Enjoy and they love frisbee!!
What a good looking boy - such lovely colors and he seems to smile in these photos. Very handsome!
We were his fourth family in that short period of time. - folks with no patience? Or who know nothing about the breed? He's so cute!
Would you look at that face? I mean, what IS it about Aussies and those markings? And those beautiful eyes?
I'm so glad such a beautiful pup has finally found a loving and understanding home. Thanks for being a dog lover. May you have many happy years together.
A Sweet Find, We have 4 Aussies, the best thing that ever happened to us. Rio... be proud you've found a great home. New Parents, you've have a sweetie there.
Rio, I just don't understand humans, how could someone just not love you, sure your a little bit of a hand full sometimes, but, that is just your breed, you get board and have to find something to keep you busy. Your a lucky little boy to have the family you have, lots of cookies to you and big ol' belly rubs too.
Oh my gosh!!! He's sooooooo cute. You're my kind of people. I always say there's room for one more. We have 4 also. Nothing better in the world than coming home to all this love.
Rio is really a good looking fellow. I'm sure he's a handful but what a lovely face! Biscuits and bellyrubs from Pam in Toronto.
Oh what a sweet little baby - I don't know how he could have been passed around so much - how can anyone resist that face! I'm so glad he's got a good home now with people that appreciate him. Way to go!!
It looks like he's wearing white boots - what a hoot!! He is SOOOOO cute! He's so lucky to have you and it sounds like you're just as lucky to have him - ENJOY!
OMG!! That is the sweetest face ever!! I do not understand how 1 let alone 3 others could not be happy having this little cutie around. Thank you for making him such a happy guy!
he's so cute!!! i love aussie sheps and cattle dogs. he will give you alot of entertainment and love.
this guy knows that he has found his furever home! he looks so happy and grateful! such a pretty boy.
What a cutie! In this picture, it looks like he's learning a new dance step. :) Sure glad to hear he's found a good home. Lucky little guy AND lucky you.
Rio is beautiful and looks like a sweetie too! One thing I wondered - he looks as if he has photosensitivity, or a little problem with his eyes. Just wondered if that needed to be checked because we want him to be happy and comfortable in his great new home.
I don't understand how someone could give him up! God bless you for taking him. He is so cute!!
How can anyone, nevermind 3 families, give this baby doll away. He is the essence of cute. I am so glad he is able to settle down with you guys though, a family who really wants him and will give him so much love. He is so handsome and just adorable. Making me laugh out loud here. God Bless you all.
What a cutie. I just wanted everyone to know that you should not feed your pet grapes. A friend of mine lost one of her dogs due to kidney failure. Her vet told the kidney failure could have been caused by her dog eating grapes.
What a precious little man you have there. His coloring is magnificent! I wish you many years of blessed health and lovins for you and yours.
Four families?!? Appalling!! How could anyone not want to keep Rio? What a little sweetie, and what fab markings -- many, many scritches to him (and his siblings)!
It looks like you have made this pretty boy very happy! Don't worry he'll do the same for you for many years to come!
OMG Aussies are SOOOO CUUUUTE! I think their coloring is so gorgeous and I especially like Rio's. I'm sure Rio is a very intelligent handful. Good luck and enjoy him for many years to come. :-)
Rio, I am so glad you found your forever home. I know your new puppy parents will take good care of you! What a sweetheart you are, many biscuits to you dear fellow!
What a beautiful, happy boy! Who could turn away such a happy face? People are nuts. Thank you for giving him a forever home, and I wish you many years of joy together! Kisses and cookies from Cara...
Beautiful colors, handsome little fella you have here!! I love his cute little spotted nose!! He looks just so kissable!
Rio is so beautiful and seems to have made himself completely at home with you, his forever family. That's certainly no accident! May you have many happy years to love each other.
He looks like he's practicing his dance steps! I'm so glad you took him in, and fie on those people who passed him along as if he were a magazine they were done reading.

Yes, Rio! You are a gorgeous boy and we all know it! His lovely nature is visible in his eyes. what a nice puppy, much happiness and best of luck with him!
Little sweetie! Aussies are SUCH cute puppies. He looks so soft and cuddly. It's a relief that he's finally got a home for good. He sounds like he has such a sweet personality. Wishing you both happiness xx
What a pretty baby-I love his color.And just think,he's yours,all yours to enjoy for many happy years to come!
Thanks for giving Rio a good home; you will never regret it. I have shared my home with many dogs throughout my life and I believe me, Aussies are the best dog friend a human could have. He will give you lots of love and great loyalty. People like you make the world a better place in which to live. Thanks again for opening your home, and your heart, to such an amazing dog. Nenita
oooooooooooooooooh, he's soooooooo cute!!!!!!!! I LOVE his eyes, they are too beautiful :oD Your dog is DARLING!
I think Rio is sooo cute and cuddley looking. It is a shame he was passed around as a puppy but I think he finally found people who will really love him. Lots of belly rubs and biscuits for Rio.
I just love Aussies, Rio is so cute. I just love is color & his eyes are so pretty. What a beautiful boy, thank goodness he has finally found a home! Lots of kisses & belly rubs to you Rio!!
If you had this baby with you for 10 minutes how could you let him go? Look how totally darling he is? Some people are just plain stupid. I'm glad you found space for him in your home. You are good people and Rio is a lucky pup, and I know you are lucky people to have him! Cookies for everybody!!
Rio is so sweet. We just adopted Babyruth Hogan (added her to the Dailypuppy just yesterday) She is 2+ years old and we love her so much. Have fun with this baby - he is amazing.
Wow!! What a cutie and also a very pretty dog. His markings are remarkable. He also has very nice fur!
"What a silly little goose", I thought to myself looking at Rio's beautiful smiles. It is a shame that some of the best dogs have to go through so many hands and homes before they found the right one, but i am happy Rio found yours, and you sound to have a big heart! You have enough experience with gogs to know he found the way to you for some special reason, and he will pay you back with his lifetime commitment of heart full of love! God Bless people like you!
Rio is special. He is adorable. We have an blue merle aussie about the same age and he too, is fearless. We call him our little bulldozer! It looks like Rio is home now so have a great time with hime...he is a special puppy!
Why in the world would ANY one pass on this gorgeous creature? Thank you for having the time, room and love to devote to him. I know you won't ever be sorry. He certainly is handsome, and I think he must love the camera too. xoxo
How could anyone part with this sweet baby? Anyway, I'm glad Rio is now with a family that loves and appreciates him. He is a beautiful dog!
What a beautiful puppy! How could people just give up on such a magnificent angel?!! God bless him, your other three dogs and you! Thank you for giving a loving home to this sweetie pie. May you all have many years of excellent health, tons of fun and abundant joy. A million biscuits & tummy rubs to Rio and his canine pals! XOXOXO
what an adorable puppy!!! i love aussies. May you have many years of fun with your adorable lieelt puppy>!
Your Rio makes me smile. I am saving his pictures on my computer so I can look at his cuteness whenever I need a lift. I'm so glad you found such a treasure that others overlooked.
I think the Big Smile in this picture says "Thanks Mom and Dad, I am ONE LUCKY and HAPPY PUPPY. LIFE IS GOOD. THANKS FOR GIVING ME A FOREVER HOME." Big hugs and kisses from Elizabeth and Dane Miss Katie =O) NY-USA
Rio looks like he's found his happy home - many years of happiness with this absolutely lovely pup!
I looked up cuteness in the dictionary and found this definition! He's just one happy little guy now that he's really home....... Many, many years of love and happiness and love together.
