Penny came to us from Franklin County rescue at 3 years of age. She’s an energetic and happy but also loves to relax when she’s at home and comfortable. She absolutely loves being outside and taking road trips. She does get agitated when meeting new dogs, especially those that are reactive but warms up relatively quickly. She lived with another dog for a year and they got along great. That said I would not recommend her for homes with cats or other small critters.

Tippy Trace is a 4.5 (almost 5) year old pit bull who was rescued from our organization over four years ago after an incident led her to lose her front left leg. Since then, she has been in a loving home with two children (ages 10 and 1.5) and another older female dog. She has had aggression issues towards the older female dog worsening over the last two years, leading to them needing to re-home her now. She does very well with children and is a lover of people. She loves to cuddle and play. She can run super fast and doesn’t even realize that she is a tripod! She loves to pop bubbles and play fetch! Tippy is in need of a dog-less home or possibly one with an older male dog. She would be a great companion for a single person or a family!

Dislikes: Chickens (but not eating chicken) Penelope loves life and absolutely knows that she has been rescued. She was deprived of human companionship, as well as canine, when she spent a year inside a lonely rural shelter. She was starting to lose hope. But now, she radiates happiness every time you pet her, or she rolls in the grass, or she lays in a soft bed, or a dog plays with her, or if there is a nice breeze outside, because she missed that so much during the year she was ignored in the shelter. She adores humans and wants nothing more than to be with her people. She is very chill in the house, and basically sleeps if no one is in the mood to play with her. If she can sleep next to you, all the better. If you want a dog who will adore you, and be grateful for any kindness, then Penelope is your girl. Pen's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative.

My name is now Calvin. You may remember meI was dropped off in my crate off of old 3C highway across from the elementary school back in May on the last day of school. I spent the day with the teachers and the kids but when the kids got picked up, no one came to get me. I found a nice foster family with Rico Pet Recovery and they decided to adopt me. But every now and then, I get in a little misunderstanding with the other house dogs. So they told me I must find a new home by Tuesday (2/11). Thats not much time and I will be so scared in boarding. Luck is not on my side . Im a very playful, loving energetic boy. I know sit, place, heel, middle, off, back out and enough (for play). I love to snuggle in bed (yours and mine). I am house trained, can walk on a leash, play tug and fetch (still working on bringing the ball back). Why do you throw it if you want it back . Im not a huge fan of cars, but I do ok. I would do best in a home with a big submissive dog or as your ONE and ONLY best buddy! Can you PLEASE PLEASE help me out? I could use a foster or adopterApply at ricopetrecovery.org.

A 55lb birch-colored ball of energy, Arties silliness is one of his many lovable traits! Although it takes a minute to warm up to new people, once he does, he loves to cuddle and show off his zoomies. With a little guidance, Artie loves to take walks and enjoys being outside. He is currently up to date with shots, neutered and is being taught basic commands. He may possibly be dog selective, but we are currently testing for that. He has not been tested with kids or cats. Artie would add so much love and fun to any home he would become a part of. Please consider giving this good boy a chance to show his loyalty and make you smile.
