About Rico

Meet Rico, a 2-year-old, 62-pound male Hound/Retriever mix looking for a loving home. Once abandoned by his previous family, Rico's resilience shines through as he's found joy in the care of a supportive neighborhood and his foster family. He's sweet, cuddly, and has a knack for befriending large dog buddies. Although he warms up to children, he does best with older ones who can respect his personal space, especially since he has a slight limp due to a previous injury. Rico enjoys being indoors as a couch potato, yet he's playful outdoors, loving to chase balls and bubbles. He's fully potty and kennel trained, walks well on a leash, and behaves admirably on outings. A spacious, fenced yard would be ideal for him to explore and relax in. Rico deserves the stability of a forever family where he can truly thrive. Ready to see if you're the one? Don't miss the chance to bring this sweet boy into your life.
