🌟 Meet Rico, the gentle soul on a journey to discover his place in this big, beautiful world! Born on February 27, 2022, this sweet little guy weighs around 20 pounds and is believed to be a unique Jack Russell/Weimaraner mix. Neutered and well cared for, Rico is up to date on all his vaccinations and is learning the ropes of potty training. But let’s dive deep, friends! Rico is a sensitive spirit, taking his time to build confidence in new surroundings. He thrives in a calm environment, ideally with older kids who can give him space to bloom. Rico tends to bond intensely with one person—he’s like a loyalty sponge! You see, once he chooses his human, he’s in it for the long haul. Currently, this sweetheart feels a connection to the gentlemen in his life; if you're a male looking for an affectionate buddy, well, there couldn’t be a better match! 🤗 Inside the home, you’ll find Rico to be respectful and well-mannered, the kind of dog who curls up next to you for that cozy nighttime cuddle. However, step outside, and it’s a different story—our boy is still navigating his fears. Outdoor adventures might be a little daunting for him; he’s prone to barking and making a dash for the door, but with a patient companion by his side and some routine, he’ll learn to enjoy the great outdoors! 🌳 Oh, and did we mention? Rico plays well with cats! He’s as gentle as a feather when around kids and doesn’t mind a little petting, but he might retreat when feeling overwhelmed. There’s no need to worry—he’s just cautious. Patience is key, dear friends. Rico isn't about instant love—he's more about deep bonds. When he selects you, he’s all in! Expect a loyal friend who's always ready to be your shadow. 🐶✨ This cuddly gem is on the lookout for a forever home that embraces his unique journey. If you’re a patient, calm soul with a penchant for loyalty, Rico is eagerly waiting to meet you!
