Multiply two functions together where one behaves like ##r^2## near zero (how about ##r^2##) and the other behaves like 1 near zero and decays to zero more quickly than ##r^2## increases. After you get the basic second function you can manipulated it to make the product of the two functions fit other constraints you have.
You want to pick the "second function" to make life easy for whatever you are doing. There are plenty of options, like
$$\frac{r^2}{1 + r^3}, \quad r^2 e^{-r}, \quad \text{etc.}$$
