Rico Suave's Story

This sweet 5-year-old, 11 lb Spaniel mix is ready for his second chance! Rico Suave was surrendered by his previous owner to Shelter Hope and has quickly proven what a gem he is. He loves to run and play in the backyard and trots alongside you with boundless enthusiasm. According to his foster, Rico Suave is potty trained, wonderfully social with other dogs, and utterly adorable. His irresistibly cute underbite only adds to his unique charm. Deeply devoted, he’s the kind of pup who’ll happily be your shadow, always eager to be by your side. Rico Suave has a pancreatic condition managed with supplements and is otherwise a happy, playful, and sweet little guy. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for the loving forever home he deserves! —---- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers. Step 1) Application Step 2) Phone Interview Step 3) Appointment Shelter Hope is operating by appointment only. Be ready to adopt: If your application is selected, our rescue counselor will be in touch for a phone interview. Adoptions can happen quickly so be prepared for our call, only apply for dogs that every family member in the home wants, and wait to apply until you return from your vacation. More on our process: Due to high demand, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we may not reach out if we have already approved a family to adopt. The process can take several days. Thank you for your patience!

More about our process: STEP 1: APPLICATION If you're interested in adopting, please fill out a rescue questionnaire. Please be thorough in your answers. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. Be ready to adopt, as adoptions can happen quickly. Only apply for dogs that every family member agrees on, and wait to submit your application until after your vacation. STEP 2: PHONE INTERVIEW If your application is approved, our rescue counselor will contact you for a phone interview. Please be patient, as this process may take several days. Due to the high volume of applications, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we often interview multiple candidates before selecting the best match and scheduling an adoption appointment. STEP 3: ADOPTION APPOINTMENT The appointment is a meet-and-greet at our shop at the Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks.
