DESCRIPTION

Puerto Rico is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours!

Mushy two-month-old Puerto Rico came to us from Chicago Animal Care and Control at just five days old with his three siblings and amazing mom, Caribe. He has spent the last two months getting showered with love and attention and is now ready to move on to his forever family!

Puerto Rico is a ham and we can't get enough of him! Rico is the go with the flow pup. He dots around and joins in with whatever is going on! He is very happy to relax and cuddle, but his siblings can coax him into playing at just about any time. Rico absolutely adores other dogs! We have had the puppies meet several adult dogs and he is always following them around and eager to play with them, it is adorable!

Rico is so precious and we know he is going to make someone very happy!

Puerto Rico's adoption fee is $450. This animal is neutered, and is up to date on core vaccines appropriate for their age.

They will need a rabies vaccine at 4 months of age and a Heartworm test between 6-7 months of age at the adopter's own vet.

Since he is a puppy, any adopter should anticipate needing to work on housebreaking and other training using positive reinforcement training only.

ABOUT: MIXED BREED DOG BREED

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
