Story
This feisty little guy is as quirky as his right ear, which almost always flops back over his scruffy head! At about 2 years old he’s full of energy and enthusiasm for life, which he displays in the rough-and-tumble manner that he learned on the streets. In his foster home he is learning to interact more appropriately with humans and canines alike, and is doing well with crate training. Due to his energy level, Rico is best suited for an active family with a fenced yard that would provide appropriate outlets for his lively personality. Because he likes to playfully nip, he is not a good match for homes with small children. Another frisky dog to give his humans a break would be a plus, as this boy rarely stops playing! While we aren’t sure about his breed, he has many characteristics of the Affenpinscher, particularly the “fearless, inquisitive, loyal, and entertaining big personality” typical of the breed. Adopt Rico and make 2026 the year where unconditional love came wrapped in fur. 📩 Please email ftadopt@gmail.com to obtain an application or submit an Adopt A Pet inquiry. We will email you an application promptly. If you do not receive an application, please check your spam folder or call us at 859-744-7729. All rescues at FairyTails arrive fully ready to join your family! Our pets come to you dewormed, fully vetted, spayed/neutered, dental exam, heartworm tested, flea/tick & heartworm monthly preventative, microchipped, vaccinated, bathed, and professionally groomed. They are housed either in loving foster homes or in cozy suites at our facility, complete with warm bedding, toys, food, water, and plenty of love while they wait for their forever homes.
