Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rico is available through our `Adopt From a Foster Home` program. If you are interested in scheduling a meeting, please fill out the request form here: Adopt From Foster Form. Please do not make an appointment through our online booking calendar, as he is not available to meet on site.
Age: 3 years Weight: 43.20 kg
A little bit about Rico: - unknown history with kids, all interactions should be supervised - no history with cats and small animals, all interactions should be supervised - has had positive interactions with other calm, confident dogs
Rico may be a large boy, but this gentle giant is a lap dog at heart! This gorgeous guy was surrendered to us for no fault of his own and is waiting for his forever home in the comfort of a foster home. In the shelter he was quite shut down, overwhelmed by the unfamiliar sounds, spaces and people. But in his foster home he has truly blossomed - his foster describes him as “genuinely the sweetest dog,” and it doesn’t take long to see why!
Once he warms up (usually within a day), Rico bonds deeply and loves to stay close to his people. He can be a little shy at first, but he’s never shown any signs of aggression, and he settled beautifully even when staying with new people in a new home. He would thrive with someone who can offer companionship and plenty of cozy moments, as he’s happiest curled up nearby and nudging gently for more pets.
Rico has had nothing but positive interactions with other dogs and could enjoy a canine friend in his forever home. We would be happy to facilitate a dog introduction here at the shelter to ensure a good match! Rico, to our knowledge, has never been around cats before, so we would strongly recommend slow, supervised introductions. He also loves his walks, especially when there are squirrels to watch. He may pull at the start of an exciting adventure, but he quickly relaxes into a nice rhythm.
If your bed, home and heart are all feeling a little empty, Rico`s got more than enough love, fluff and, well, Rico, to fill those spaces! Fill out the Adopt from Foster form above if you think he may be just the pup you`ve been looking for.
