Here's what the humans have to say about me:
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN SAN DIEGO ONLY
Rico is a 2 year old, 4 lb Chihuahua/Min Pin mix. A good Samaritan saved him from a busy street.
He is so mellow for his age. He was not house trained and leash trained at all but now he is getting so much better. He hasn't had any accidents in his foster home in days! He goes on daily walks with his foster siblings and he really loves it.
Rico is very timid and shy with strangers and will need time to warm up. He does not like loud noises and sudden moves, so a home with no children would be best for him. He is good with other calm small dogs, but we are not sure about cats.
Rico’s ideal family would be people who know how to handle petite dogs and are willing to continue to work on his potty training. He is a very sweet boy once he knows you.
If you have room in your heart and your home for this sweet little guy, please complete an application.
