Rico

Rico is a low maintenance, well-adjusted happy boy who loves every human and most med-large dogs he meets. Very tolerant, sweet and friendly, he loves to be around people. He reads other dogs well and adjusts his interactions appropriately. No small animals for Rico. <br/><br/>Rico is one of the first 2 dogs in our program that started in 2015. Rico and his pal Billy were adopted by a former employee of the prison. They lived a good life for 5 years. <br/><br/>Sadly in November 2020, their mom left the marriage and relocated out of state. Rico and Billy remained with their dad in Georgia. <br/><br/>Tragically, just before Christmas 2020, their dad passed away in his sleep, leaving the boys homeless. When their dad's body was found, the boys were taken to the Morgan County Animal Shelter. We were notified the evening of December 20th and went the next morning to pick them up. Billy has since been adopted. <br/><br/>Rico enjoys being outside as long as it's not raining. He is not a water dog. A bit prissy about getting wet, he heaves a big sigh, and tolerates bath time.<br/><br/>Rico's calm temperament and sweetness has brought much delight to all the inmates and officers who live and work in his dorm. <br/><br/>Rico has excellent house manners. He is clean, quiet, and very easy to have around. He never harms his trainer's personal belongings. Rico thinks he is a lap dog, curling up with his trainer any opportunity offered.<br/><br/>Outside, in good weather, Rico is more playful, usually for shorter periods of time. Rico's favorite toy is a big rope toy that he plays with interactively with his trainer in the yard. Rico and his best friend Trixie have lived, trained and played together for the past 2+ years. <br/><br/>Rico is approximately 9 years young, a healthy 62 lb hunk of love, neutered, UTD on rabies vaccine and heartworm negative. Rico has many good years in him to love his new person or family. <br/><br/>Rico would love to find someone who prefers a calm, slower pace of life, someone to hang out with, go for walks together and chill on the couch watching TV. <br/><br/>Please go to our FB page for more information, photos and letters from Rico's trainers.<br/>www.facebook.com/RiverbendJailDogs
