Chico's Story

Hi, I'm Chico, and I'd like to file a formal complaint.<br/><br/>As a Mountain Cur mix, I have a LOT of energy. Running, exploring, sniffing, investigating suspicious squirrels-these are all very important parts of my job description. So imagine my surprise when I was informed that because I'm heartworm positive, I have to "take it easy" while I recover.<br/><br/>Take. It. Easy.<br/><br/>Apparently, zooming around like a maniac is now "not recommended." According to the humans, heartworm disease is treatable, but until then, I need to stay calm. I disagree with this decision, but unfortunately, nobody asked me.<br/><br/>The good news is that I'm available through a Pathway to Adoption or Foster-to-Adopt program while I complete treatment. I'm sweet, goofy, and always excited to see my people.<br/><br/>One other rule I've been told to mention: I MUST wear a harness. Allegedly, my enthusiasm sometimes exceeds my judgment. I have no comment on these accusations.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a fun-loving sidekick who's temporarily grounded by his doctor, come meet me. I'll be the one dramatically staring out the window, dreaming of zoomies.<br/><br/>Dogs: Unknown - a meet & greet is recommended<br/>Cats: Unknown<br/>Kids: 10+ REQ
