rio - special needs

Hi, I’m Rio! I’m a two-year-old chocolate Frenchie, and if you’re wondering—yes, I really am as cute as I sound. I’m just 20 pounds of snuggles, sunshine, and squeaky rubber footballs (mine has an arrow on it, and yes, I take it everywhere...even to the vet!). I’m one of those rare dogs who shares his toys, loves his people, and makes friends wherever I go. I don’t guard; I don’t grumble—I just play! I get along great with kids and other dogs, and if you’ve got a doggy buddy for me, even better. I’m house-trained, I know how to use a doggy door, and I’m an A+ snuggler when it’s time to wind down. Here’s the part where I need a little extra TLC: I have a sensitive tummy, so I’m on a strict diet with my special food and supplements—Purina Elemental and a sprinkle of ForteFlora with vitamin B12. This costs $130 for a 16.5 pound bag. No treats for me (I know, tragic), but I’m still a happy, tail-wiggling boy who doesn’t let it get me down. If you’re looking for a gentle soul with a playful streak and a forever love for plush footballs, I might just be your perfect match.   Because of these  special   needs , BTRNT knows Rio's adopter must be someone committed to giving him the care he deserves. To help him find that perfect match, his adoption fee will be waived-instead, we'll ask for a donation. Thank you for your continued support in our rescue efforts! We are always looking for good foster homes. These homes allow us to rescue more Boston Terriers in need because we have a place for them to go until they are adopted. Please consider becoming a foster home for Boston Terrier Rescue of North Texas. You can fill out a foster application at Foster Application | Boston Terrier Rescue Of North Texas. This will allow you to possibly become a foster home for one of our little Boston Terriers in need. Thank you for considering the possibility of fostering for Boston Terrier Rescue of North Texas!   Thank you for your continued support in our rescue efforts!  December 11, 2025, 1:38 pm
