My story

We adopted Rico when he was 1 year old from a shelter. He came from Tennessee. He is now just about 4 years old and is so full of love! He is a very high energy dog and requires lots of exercise. We have two children (4 years and 1 year), and he is very gentle and loving towards them. However, working full time and raising two kids has made it very difficult to give Rico the love and attention he deserves. He is an incredibly loyal dog. He will always be by your side and always ready for a walk for a game of fetch. He also is very gentle with our flock of chickens, although he does love to play chase with them. He loves to play with other dogs, especially dog that are high energy like him. He is not the best with cats as his instinct is to chase them. We would love to see Rico join a family who is very active and spends lots of time outdoors with him. He loves to run and play chase, and loves to snuggle and give kisses. He will follow you wherever you go.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rico, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
