Story
Bruno is a great dog , always looking for friends. He gets really excited over other dogs and squirrels! He is missing some teeth after having to have them removed so he needs his food softened. He was starved in a past life so he is a little food possessive but can be bribed with a treat. All he wants is love from his human and sometimes a friend to play with . He’s great with other dogs. He would do best in a home with older kids or just someone looking for a walking partner twice a day. He is a goof. But a great friend. I hate that I have to rehome him but I want to make sure he’s going to the right place for him. He does need his kibble soaked for a few minutes but he’s pretty easy !

Story
Meet Jax - a 3 to 5-year-old little yellow lab weighing less than 50 lbs. Jax has beaten the odds of transitioning from an outdoor living semi-feral dog to a house dog who's thriving under human love and dog companionship. Jax came to RICO as one of many dogs dumped by a breeder in a field in Jackson Co. He wouldn't allow a human within 20' of him and urinated in fear if anyone approached him. He had obviously lived a life of neglect and abuse. Jax had no idea how to climb steps, which side doors opened from, how to eat from a bowl and so much more. Fast forward to today - Jax follows his foster mother everywhere. He loves to go on car rides. He will allow a collar and leash on him but has yet to 'love' leash walking but he tolerates this. He's obsessed with dog beds and dog toys. He willingly walks into the vet office and trainers building whereas a month ago he had to be crated and the crate carried into that space. What's most important for Jax in finding his forever home is another dog who is playful and confident. Jax has learned best by watching his foster brother live a 'dog life.' Jax will need a fenced in backyard and a patient owner as everything will be new, again, to him. Jax is not crate trained but will need a safe space such as a laundry room in his new home. Jax is a happy dog, his tail is always wagging, he's always up for a good wrestle with his foster brother and loves to end the day with snuggles and tummy rubs from his foster mother.Apply to meet him at ricopetrecovery.org. Adoption fee is $250

Story
1 year old Golden/Pyrenees/Staffie mixPatch is a 1 year old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix looking for his forever home. His owners got him as a very young puppy, but didn’t know at the time that Patch was going to grow up and like to go after the neighbor’s chickens. They share that he is super sweet with humans, but just doesn’t care for livestock so he would be better off living in the suburbs. Please send us your phone number if you would love to hear more about Patch. November 30, 2025, 6:55 am

Story
My friend came to me asking if I could bring her in since her uncles landlord said that they couldn’t keep her and I said that I’d help find someone for her and that she can stay with me in the mean time. They did get her from an abusive home so she is jumpy about things but I’ve been having her socialize with the people at my house and my own dogs, I was gonna train her to be an inside dog however my mom said no so I didn’t get to completely train her but she does know to use pee pads and I never finished training her to come in with a command so now she just awkwardly stares at me through the door, she still is awkward around new people but she is curious. I’ve taken her to get her first 2 shots and just needs the third appointment made for the booster I believe and she is about 6/7 months old and if extra pictures are wanted I can some
