Description:
Name: Rico Approximate breed: Lab mix Gender: Male Approximate age: 1.5 years Approximate weight: 70 lbs Vetting/Vaccinations: Up to date Spayed/Neutered: Yes Good with Children: Yes, 8+yo Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Unknown Housetrained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Ideal Family: Female caretaker Adoption Fee: $550 Rico is excited to start his happily ever after in New England with a forever family to call his own! "Couldn’t be sweeter romping in our yard with the kids." "He is the life of the party and radiates sweetness!" "I love his snuggles" - just a few quotes from Rico's foster He’s a goofy, beautiful puppy with beautiful, soulful eyes that plays well with other dogs, including respecting seniors. He’s also great with kids but does not know his own size, so older/bigger kiddos would be best. Poor Rico seems have had a difficult experience with men in his early days and is very afraid and cowers when strange men are near. He’s a big, loving cuddlebug with kids and women, and would enjoy a home with a female primary caretaker. A gentle man could help him re-learn and build confidence with lots of patience, space, and understanding, but while he's learning all about his new life, we think a female adult(s) home would be best. He loves his crate and thinks it makes a lovely “safe space” and bachelor pad to nap in. He doesn’t have much experience leash walking but is learning about it with his foster. He loves chew toys and will be fun to spoil while figuring out his favorites! He could use some bonding over basic training but is treat-motivated and happy to make you happy (also a great way to build communication and confidence!). Sweet Rico just wants to feel safe so he can share all the love and joy he has inside! Does Rico sound like the sweetie for you? Fill out an adoption application today! All of our available adoptable dogs are on Facebook, Petfinder, and our website. If a dog is no longer listed it means they have an adoption pending.
