Chico

My story

**About Chico:** Thank you for interested in adopting Chico. Please know that Chico is an international rescue through South Korea. When your application is approved, you will need to pick her up from the airport - such as SFO, SEA, JFK, LAX, ONT, IAH, etc. International adoption is not a complicated process and we‘ve done the process many years. We would be happy to explain to you how the process works. Chico is affectionate and active but he is still a puppy that just began to learn that there are so many things he didn’t encounter yet. In doing so, he may look timid initially, but you will soon notice that he fundamentally enjoys meeting new people and being around them. He’s very gentle and has a trusting personality, making it easy to bond once trust is established. He is currently experiencing different environments and meeting various people to build confidence. Chico loves other dogs and gets along well with the one he currently lives with. When accompanied by his foster, Chico feels more confident and interacts comfortably with both people and dogs. Both Chico and Rita may appear timid in completely new environments, but they adapt quickly and get along well. Their initial shyness doesn’t reflect sensitivity or pickiness. +Dog: Chico loves other dogs and gets along well with the one he currently lives with. +Cat: He shows no particular reaction to cats he encounters on the street. +Kids: Chico hasn’t spent much time with children but shows little interest in them during walks. +Housebroken: He prefers to go potty outside but is 100% successful using pee pads indoors. +Ok in kennel: Good is a crate. He is calm and relaxed in a crate. +Ok on leash: He walks well on a leash and is easy to manage. He enjoys approaching other dogs but is learning to wait calmly. When walking off-leash, Chico often checks back and matches his pace with his foster. If the foster stops, he sits and waits patiently. +Barker or Separation anxiety: Chico is fine being left alone. He doesn’t bark or whine excessively. +Behavioral issues (food aggression, leash reactivity, etc): Chico does not guard food, treats, or toys and waits patiently for his turn. +car rides: Chico handles car rides well, even for long periods. He can wait calmly in the car without issues If you’re interested in adopting Chico, please don’t hesitate to contact us for more details. We’d be more than happy to help!
