Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rico is a Belgian Malinois and American Pit Bull mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He is incredibly loyal and thrives on building a strong bond with his person. Rico does very well in the home — he’s comfortable, well-mannered, and settles in nicely once he knows he’s part of the family.

He’s an energetic, intelligent dog who loves to stay active. Toys and games of fetch are some of his favorite things, and his sharp mind makes him quick to learn and eager to engage. Rico would do best with someone who enjoys interacting with their dog and can give him both physical activity and mental stimulation.

Despite his playful and driven side, Rico also has a soft, affectionate nature. He absolutely loves to cuddle and will happily relax with you after playtime. He’s the kind of companion who gives his loyalty fully and just wants to be close to his people.
