Chico's Story

Meet Chico <br/><br/>Chico is a 4-year-old, 15-pound sweetheart looking for a patient and loving forever home. Currently located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Chico is available for adoption anywhere since he is completely vetted and ready for his next chapter.<br/><br/>Chico came from a hoarding situation, so the world can feel a little overwhelming at first. He is naturally shy and usually takes a few days to settle in and feel safe around new people and pets. Like many dogs from similar backgrounds, he finds comfort in a crate or quiet corner where he can observe everything around him.<br/><br/>But once Chico realizes he's safe, his personality begins to shine. He becomes friendly, curious, and surprisingly outgoing. You'll often catch him happily prancing around, exploring his surroundings, and checking in with his favorite people.<br/><br/>Chico is crate trained, potty pad trained, and incredibly quiet. While he doesn't seem interested in toys just yet, he enjoys watching the other dogs play and may discover his playful side once he has the security of a consistent, loving home.<br/><br/>Chico isn't looking for perfection-just someone willing to give him a little time, patience, and understanding. In return, he'll show you just how rewarding it can be to help a shy dog blossom into the confident companion he was always meant to be.<br/><br/>Could Chico be the missing piece in your family?

Fuzzy Texan Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
1. All animals will be fully vetted before they can go home with their adopters. This includes the spay/neuter operation and all necessary vaccines, including rabies. Any animals released into another home before spay/neuter will not be finalized as “adopted” until the animal(s) is/are spayed/neutered. 2. I will give the animal proper and humane care, food, water, shelter, and all other necessities. 3. I will provide the animal with regular veterinary care, as well as all needed vet care if the cat becomes ill or injured. Should the animal become ill within two weeks of adoption, I will call FTAR for a consultation first. 4. I will keep cats INDOORS ONLY,and will not allow it to be used as a mouser, or for experimentation or research. I will keep dogs primarily indoors. 5. I will NOT HAVE A CAT DECLAWED under any circumstances. 6. I will isolate the animal in a small room for several days to allow it to adjust to its new home. I will not give the animal free roam of its new space immediately upon arriving home. 7. I will comply with all city, county, state, and federal laws relating to companion animals. 8. I will never give away or sell this animal. If I can no longer care for or keep it I will return the animal to FTAR. I will do so by contacting FTAR and arranging for its return. No questions will be asked. 9. If I adopt more than one animal, and they are returned, they must be returned as a group, unless Fuzzy Texan Animal Rescue, at its discretion, determines that is not necessary. 10. I agree to let FTAR to contact my current vet (if I have other animals) before bringing my animal home. 11. I agree to send an update with photos and/or video within 48 hours of adoption to fuzzytexaninfo@gmail.com 12. I understand that ALL adoptions fees are non refundable and should I need to return my adopted animal, I am responsible for holding the animal until a suitable foster/transport can be found. 13. I understand that Fuzzy Texan has three separate branches and that it it my responsibility to ensure that the animal is located in my area or be willing to transport or have the animal transported to me if I adopt outside of the area. 13. I will forfeit all claims to the animal if I do not comply with these terms, and allow FTAR to remove the animal, without notice, from my home or premises.
