Rico

My story

If Rico could talk he would say he doesn’t understand why he’s at this noisy place. Miss Judi told him he was surrendered because of the health of his owner. That made him sad because he did not know his owner was not feeling well. You can see by looking in his eyes that he’s sad and scared. Please be the hero that will turn his life around. Rico is a 3 yr old 71 lb copper-colored American Pitbull Terrier/Perro De Presa mix with alluring, brown eyes. He has become a favorite of one of our volunteers. This volunteer takes him for long walks and says that he’s easy to lead. He does what he wants when he wants to …probably as a result of being left alone a lot. With TLC he warms up and seeks affection. He does not appear to know the sit command. That’s something you could teach him. He has a semi-strong pull on the leash. He has so much love to give his new family. He would love to snuggle up on the couch with you and watch TV. He likes Animal Planet but would be willing to watch whatever his family likes!
