Meet Rico 🤎 Rico is an 8-month-old mixed breed (shepherd? lab? pittie? black mouth cur?) pup with a loyal heart and a gentle, steady presence.

He’s already house trained and crate trained, making him an easy addition to a home ready for a young dog without all the puppy chaos. Rico does great with kids and has a calm, respectful nature that makes him a wonderful family companion. Rico would thrive in a home that will continue to build his confidence and give him the structure and love he deserves. In return, he’ll give you unwavering loyalty and companionship. If you’re looking for a sweet, dependable best friend, Rico might just be your perfect match. 🐾 Adoption Fee: $550 MORE INFO: Every dog with Wilder Souls Rescue receives thorough veterinary care before adoption.
