TEARJERKER, PLEASE SHARE ,URGENT PALLIATIVE FOSTER HOME NEEDED FOR RIO, LIVERPOOL #UK Please share wherever you are, let's not let Rio pass away in a rescue shelter. Aged 8, he has been there, waiting for a home for 7 years !!!! 💔 freshfields.org.uk/animals/r… Rio is a beautiful boxer/staffy cross who is 8 and a half years old. This loveable old gent is a firm favourite with staff and volunteers alike. Rio has had a few lumps and bumps tested recently and sadly we have had the devastating news that out boy has got a mast cell tumour. This diagnosis means that Rio is not going to be with us for as long as we had hoped. Our vet advised that he may only live for another 6 months due to him being in the kennel environment but if Rio could find a lovely retirement home where he would be a lot more relaxed and stress free then it is possible that he could live longer maybe even up to 2years. We are desperate to find this handsome lad an end-of-life foster care arrangement so that he can live out his final months (hopefully years) in comfort and peace. Once Rio knows you, he is the sweetest and most amazing boy. He absolutely loves company and will happily snuggle up on his couch next to you and have a nice snooze (sometimes snoring as well). He’s pretty good at tucking himself up as well and is often found hidden under all his blankets. Rio is such a quirky character and when he sees his favourite people he wiggles his whole body in excitement. His favourite hobbies include basking in the sun, playing with his toys and short walks…oh and treats. He also loves treats and more treats…did we mention treats!!! Whilst Rio does have his own room here at the rescue and seems happy, this is no substitute for a loving home. We are ideally looking to find an experienced dog owner who lives in a quiet home without any other pets or children. Ideally someone who lives not too far away from the rescue as he will need to be brought to us for regular check-ups with our wonderful vets. A special somebody with a gentle approach who can be patient and give Rio the time and space he needs to settle and feel comfortable in his new surroundings. Rio really doesn’t want much in life, he just wants a bit of company and to lie around and chillax. Once acquainted with this chap, I guarantee you will be smitten. As you would be fostering Rio all costs for vet fees, medication and food would be covered by the rescue. You would also receive our full support for Rio’s retirement journey. Please tell me that Rio’s squishy face made you really want to reach out and help. Can you be the saviour to step up for our wonderful Rio in his time of need? Could you be the person to finally help him find the retirement home he truly deserves? Please don't delay, get in touch with our kennels team at kennels@freshfields.org.uk. They will be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. They will also be extremely eager to assist you through the process of setting up a fostering arrangement. And don’t worry even if you are not in a position to foster Rio, please share this post far and wide and let’s find this gorgeous boy that special place to call home before his time runs out.
