About Halo And Rico
They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Halo and Rico are two inseparable friends ready to find a loving home together. Both have had their fair share of hardships but have formed a strong, supportive bond in foster care and now thrive as a playful duo. Halo, who arrived with significant skin injuries from a previous collar and a positive heartworm diagnosis, has made a remarkable recovery. After completing her treatment, she's now heartworm negative and must stay on preventative medication year-round. Halo stands out with a Boston Terrier-like appearance but is larger in stature and weight, standing over 15 inches at the shoulder and weighing in at around 70 pounds. Spayed and up to date on preventative care, Halo is about 2 years old and adores people — especially those ready to give belly rubs. She's strong and energetic, with a real passion for toys and balls, particularly her Kong squeaky ball. She’s excitable around treats and loves to carry items in her mouth on walks. A fenced yard is essential due to her curiosity and energy, and she tends to have a rough-and-tumble play style with other friendly dogs. Rico, also around 2 years old and neutered, was found as a stray and never claimed. He’s heartworm negative (and will need ongoing preventative), and up to date on shots and care. Rico loves the frisbee and excels at fetch, bringing the ball back every time. Intelligent and eager to learn, Rico enjoys car rides and also does well with a doggy door and on a leash. Though he can be grumbly meeting new dogs, once he’s familiar he is playful and friendly. His loyal friendship with Halo blossomed in foster care, and he remained by her side during heartworm treatment. Both are energetic, love toys, and require daily play—ideally with lots of frisbee and fetch. The perfect home for Halo and Rico is one without other dogs, cats, or small children, where a secure fenced yard and dog-savvy adopters can provide them with ample playtime and patience. Meet these loving best friends and let them show you how joyful a canine friendship can be. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
