Rico's Story

❤️💚Meet Rico — Hoping to Be Home in 2026 ❤️💚 12 pounds of fun 2 years old Male $375 Adoption Fee This scruffy little gentleman is Rico, a 2-year-old, 11.8-lb Shih Tzu mix who’s full of spunk, sweetness, and cheer! He came to FairyTails in early November, and it didn’t take long for our staff to fall head-over-heels for him. Unfortunately, he didn't get his Christmas wish of a forever home, but he's hoping that 2026 will be his year. Rico’s personality is the perfect blend of cuddly, playful, and merry, and he’s quickly learning his potty-training manners. With his soft, scruffy fur and bright, hopeful eyes, this little guy would look absolutely adorable curled up next to you. He’d do wonderfully in a loving family ready to share their heart and home with him. Because he’s a spunky little guy, a fenced yard is required, and he’d do best in a home without small children. ❤️ Adopt Rico and make 2026 the year where unconditional love came wrapped in fur.💚 📩 Please email fairytailspetadoptions@yahoo.com to obtain an application or submit an PetFinder inquiry. We will email you an application promptly. If you do not receive an application, please check your spam folder or call us at 859-744-7729.
