Rico's Story

Hey there I'm Rico! Me and my brother Ghost found ourselves at a local shelter after being the last two of an unplanned litter. We spent some time at the shelter then the shelter became full and we were put on the urgent list. Ghost got out before me, but luckily the same rescue family came and pulled me two weeks later!!!!! So here's a little me, I'm pretty awesome if I do say so myself!!! I'm a 2 year old lab mix. I'm very athletic, goofy, smart, and super fast. I would make a great hiking, jogging, or running buddy. I love a good game of fetch and lots of love and attention. I'm neutered, up to date on my vaccines, house trained, crate trained, and know basic commands. I love being with my brother and my rescue family but I'm ready to find my forever family and have lots of adventures.
