Rico

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Rico: Your New Best Friend! Looking for a loyal and loving companion? Meet Rico, a handsome boy with a heart of gold and a playful spirit! While we're still getting to know all of Rico's wonderful quirks, we're already head over paws for him, and we think you will be too! Rico's Top Qualities: People-Oriented & Affectionate:  Rico thrives with his humans. He may take a few moments to warm up, but once comfortable, he's all about pets and cuddles! Dog-Friendly:  He gets along well with other canines, making him a great companion for playdates or a multi-dog home. Cat-Aware:  He's curious about cats but respects their space and takes hints. Smart & Obedient:  Rico knows basic commands and patiently waits for his food. Crate & Walk Ready:  He goes into his crate on command (and sometimes on his own!) and absolutely loves walks. Fetch Enthusiast (with a Humorous Twist!):  Rico adores playing fetch! He brings immense joy to the game, even if he's adorably uncoordinated at retrieving the ball. Prepare for smiles and laughs! A Note on Routine: To ensure Rico's success, we crate him when we leave. This prevents accidents and keeps him from counter-surfing. He's a good boy who just needs a little structure when unsupervised. We're still learning all about Rico, but we know he's a truly wonderful dog, ready to bring endless joy (and some comical fetch moments!) to his forever family! Apply to meet this amazing boy today! Rico is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
