About Tico

Meet Tico! This charming 2-year-old Chihuahua is on a journey to find his forever home alongside his buddy Rocky. Together, they are a bonded pair, and it’s essential they stay together in their new home. Tico and Rocky have faced challenges, and now they need a compassionate adopter willing to show them kindness and patience.

It’s best for Tico and Rocky to be the only pets in the household, and they would do best in a home without children. They have endured enough; it’s their time to feel loved and cherished.
