About Chico

Chico is a lovable pit bull who knows how to capture hearts. He spent two years at a shelter until a kind owner reclaimed him, only to be found again on the road in critical condition. Fortunately, one of our staff members recognized him and rushed him to the vet. After receiving intensive care and overcoming several seizures, Chico has made a remarkable recovery and is now relearning how to walk and enjoy life. Although he has a unique way of moving due to his past, his spirit remains intact. He enjoys the company of children but does not get along with cats. Chico is still adjusting to typical dog behaviors and would thrive in a loving environment where he can continue his journey of healing. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
