Story
We dont give up easy. We will try again to find Milo a foster or adopter that can help him continue his progress. Milo loses his temporary foster this week and boarding is too stressful for him.Milo came to us as a rescue only from the shelter. He is a young boy, only 1.5 years. He is fearful of men and takes time to get to know them. He is fine with women and is a big old home body!Milo just wants to play with his toys and love on his mom. He loves to play and will play rough at times. He also plays too rough for small dogs. Ideally he would do best with no other dogs or a female dog his size. Milo is making progress, but it is slow. He may always be fearful of men he doesnt know. Whatever demons have haunted his past stay on his shoulder reminding him he needs to be on guard. He needs OUR help finding a home, a companion he can trust, a safe place to play with his toys (hell bring them with him), a yard to run in and a soft bed. PLEASE consider fostering or adopting if your home meets his needs. You can apply at ricopetrecovery.org

Story
Calling for all BOXER LOVERS!! Fallon is a super sweet senior special needs lady looking for her perfect fit home! Could you be that caretaker that she needs? This most beautiful, loving, kind, sweet natured, adoring, grateful, gal has had a tough life and is looking for a soft landing. She is over 8 years old, and was very, very skinny and unable to stand on her rear legs when she was dumped at our shelter. She had horrible teeth, ear infections, diarrhea, and eye ulcers all holding her back. With some time and TLC and medical care, Fallon has bloomed like a spring flower. Her eyes and ears have healed but will require lifelong artificial tears applied to eyes to keep them healthy. She was spayed and had her teeth cleaned and some rotten ones pulled. She has put on wt. and started walking and even running short distances but is still very wobbly and unsteady on her rear legs due to spinal arthritis. She will drag her toes so a yard is a must for exercise to build up her hind end muscles. She has rubber booties if she must walk on asphalt. She can manage 2-3 stairs with help but flat, good footing surfaces are best. She is great with cats, kids, and other mild mannered dogs that aren't too rough. She is crate trained and housebroken but can have accidents in house if left too long alone. Fallon is currently in foster with our vet and she would be more than happy to talk more about this wonderful couch cuddler!

Story
Meet Bogart, the friendly and outgoing medium-sized pup with a heart of gold! Bogart is a social butterfly who loves nothing more than making new friends, whether they're human or canine. With his cheerful demeanor and wagging tail, he's sure to bring a smile to the face of everyone he meets. He's always up for an adventure, whether it's a walk in the park or a game of fetch in the backyard. While Bogart is great with people of all ages, he tends to lack the patience needed for young kids. He may become overwhelmed by their boundless energy and enthusiasm, so he would do best in a home with older children or adults who can understand and respect his boundaries. Despite his impatience with young kids, Bogart is a loving and loyal companion who will always be by your side through thick and thin. Whether he's cuddled up on the couch or exploring the great outdoors, Bogart is happiest when he's with his human family, soaking up all the love and attention they have to offer. With his friendly nature and outgoing personality, Bogart is sure to win the hearts of everyone he meets. If you're looking for a faithful and fun-loving companion to join your family, look no further than Bogart. He's ready and waiting to become your new best friend!
