Rico is a 2 year old, 62 lb male Hound/Retriever mixed breed.

Rico is currently located in South Texas and will be transported to his new home.

This handsome pup is Rico, a guy who was down on his luck but remained hopeful and sweet nonetheless. Rico was dumped by his former "family" when they moved, but the neighborhood stepped in to help care for him until a foster family took him in. Rico quickly made friends with the resident pooches, all big pups like him, and loves to play with them. He is sweet and cuddly with his foster family, and is a really big fan of children, but does want a bit of time to warm up to strangers (no surprise given his past). Rico is potty and kennel trained, and walks well on a leash. He is very well behaved when he goes on outings too. He loves to play with toys but is not destructive, and is well behaved indoors. Inside he can be a bit of a couch potato, but outdoors he loves to chase balls, bubbles and just romp around with his dog buddies. Rico does have a bum rear leg, which causes him to sometimes limp or sit in a peculiar way, but it doesn't stop him from having fun and doesn't seem to cause him pain. Rico would very much love a home with a fenced yard so he can explore and lounge outdoors, and a loving family that would he can devote himself to. He's a sweet and still young guy who deserves what all good boys want - a home of his very own. Help Rico get the loving home he deserves, ask to meet him and see if he may be the pup for you.
