Rico is extremely adorable but extremely timid. He is a sweet boy who is shy but loving. While not much of a cuddler, he loves to be on the same bed with you or his “Pack”.

Rico absolutely must have another small, friendly dog in his permanent foster home. Rico wants to be in the band, but just as the backup singer. Sitting close to the other dogs is what gives him comfort and he will need another dog who is calm and quiet. He does not like dogs who are hyper or in his face. He definitely leans to his fellow packmates and watches all they do and wants to be involved but not the centre of attention.

Rico will claim, and sleep on, the largest dog bed in the house. He is very laid back and prefers to sleep and watch what is going on around. He does like a good hot day to suntan on the deck or concrete.

This little guy will need a patient owner and inactive household. Any noise or chaos will scare him. He is not housetrained, he does not walk on leash, but he does well in the car. He does NOT need to be ‘walked’, so just a nice back yard will suffice.

We are looking to put Rico with an approved permanent foster home, as he is definitely a dog who has specific needs. If you feel that you can provide Rico with all he needs, please fill out the Foster application on our webpage www.ckanimalrescue.com.
