Meet Rico. Rico came to us from a puppy mill. It's a tough way to begin life for any dog, but Rico didn't let it get him down! He's still a happy, friendly guy with a lot of love to give!

Rico absolutely loves other dogs. He greets all his 4 legged friends with a wagging tail. He loves meeting new humans as well. He gives tons of kisses. He hopes you love puppy breath!

Rico is cat, dog and child friendly. His current foster home has all 3 and he's been doing great. He's doing well with potty training and crate training. He's highly food motivated and very smart, so he will pick up on training with ease! Overall, he's a great puppy!
