Adoptar a Rico

Meet Rico! Rico is looking for a very special home where he can feel safe, settle at his own pace and show the affectionate little character we are beginning to see. When Rico first arrived with us, he was extremely nervous and unsure. He didn’t want to interact and needed space and time to adjust. Slowly but surely, Rico has started to come out of his shell and build trust with the kennel staff caring for him. Once Rico gets to know you, a much softer side appears. He is a friendly boy and has discovered the joy of rolling over for belly rubs! Seeing his confidence grow has been lovely, but his new adopter will need to understand that this relationship won’t happen overnight. Rico needs people who will allow him to come around in his own time without putting pressure on him. Rico also arrived with skin problems, which are currently being treated by our vet. As part of this treatment, he needs baths twice a week using medicated shampoo. He is understandably nervous about baths, but he is a good boy and copes with reassurance and patient handling. Due to Rico’s needs, we are looking for a quiet, calm and experienced home. Previous experience with brachycephalic breeds would be a real advantage. Rico is avoidant and uncomfortable around other dogs, so he must be the only dog in the home. He needs a home where the focus can be on helping him feel secure and building his confidence at a pace that suits him. As Rico came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him, and as he can be very nervous and unsure around new people we would like any children in the home to be 14+ years.
