Learn more about this event and sign up for 10am Early Entry HERE Age: 6 years (as of 6/5/24) Weight: 13.5 lbs (as of 10/21/24) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet Chico, a gentle soul with a heart full of love. His past may have been filled with sadness, but he's made tremendous strides towards happiness. His shy demeanor gives way to playful antics once he warms up, revealing a spirited companion. Chico's sweetness is undeniable, offering a kind and loving presence that fills the room. Despite the hardships he's faced, Chico's spirit remains unbroken, showcasing his resilience and zest for life. He's made great progress and is ready to share his love with a forever family. Chico is house trained, but a little leery of crates and leashes. A potential adopter will need to go slow, work on socialization, give him plenty of exercise, and provide training and structure as he transitions to life in a forever home. Chico would do best in a low-key household without much foot traffic, no young children, and lots of patience and treats! His heartwarming journey is a testament to his strength and his capacity to love unconditionally. Adopting Chico means welcoming a bundle of joy and resilience into your life. He deserves a loving home where he can continue to grow and thrive. With Chico, you're not just adopting a pet, you're gaining a loyal friend. Chico’s story: He was found abandoned with evidence of gunshot wounds. He is now living with loving foster family and doing great!
