This sweet 5-year-old, 11 lb Spaniel mix is ready for his second chance! Rico Suave was surrendered by his previous owner to Shelter Hope and has quickly proven what a gem he is. He loves to run and play in the backyard and trots alongside you with boundless enthusiasm. According to his foster, Rico Suave is potty trained, wonderfully social with other dogs, and utterly adorable. His irresistibly cute underbite only adds to his unique charm. Deeply devoted, he’s the kind of pup who’ll happily be your shadow, always eager to be by your side. Rico Suave has a pancreatic condition managed with supplements and is otherwise a happy, playful, and sweet little guy. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for the loving forever home he deserves! —---- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers.
