Rio was left by his family at the shelter.....

Got this message today...

I am a volunteer at the Edison Animal Shelter. I am writing about a great all around dog at the Edison Animal Shelter, "Rio." (cage 15) Rio was left by his family at the shelter in June, on what was to be a temporary stay, however, they never returned for him.

Rio is a young, brindle, unneutered male who appears to be a pit/(maybe Lax) mix. It is the Edison Shelter's policy not to adopt out pits or pit mixes to individuals; they must go to rescues. Because of this, Rio must find a rescue to get out of the shelter! He is a great dog and walks well on leash. He was evaluated by a dog trainer and did not show any dog aggression. He is friendly, and has a good disposition. He is not a high energy dog, and would be fine with 2 walks a day and a little play time.

A placement with a rescue must be found for him. Are you able to help, or do you have any suggestions as to who I might contact to help place him?

Any assistance will be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
