About Chico

Meet Chico, a charming 16-week-old Shepherd mix puppy ready for his forever home. He tips the scales at around 18 pounds and is a delightful combination of red and white hues. Recently rescued from California, he’s now settling into life in Oregon, having fun in his foster home while learning about family life. Chico is a social pup who enjoys spending time with other dogs and is great with kids, making him a perfect addition to any family. As a playful baby, he will thrive in an environment where he can continue to be socialized, potty trained, and taught basic commands. His coat is short, which makes grooming easier. A little patience and love will help him blossom into a loyal companion. Chico is not altered yet, but he is already house trained and vaccinated. His ideal family would have experience in training young pups, but enthusiastic first-time owners can also thrive with him. Come meet Chico at our adoption event on November 14th at PetSmart in Beaverton, OR, or apply today to see if he could be your new best friend!
