Meet Rico

Rico (A135528) is a 3-year-old AK Husky x Australian Cattle Dog mix who weighed 53.1 pounds on intake! 10/09/26 This good-looking pup is Rico! Rico arrived at the shelter as a stray and is now looking for his new place to call home! He has been a joy to be around and is always eager to greet the staff! Since he was a stray, we do not know his experience level with children or other animals. It is important that appropriate introductions are made to help set him up for success! We do not know the extent of his training, but he has done an excellent job of keeping his kennel accident-free while at the shelter! He is a young active dog looking for a home that can provide him with plenty of mental and physical stimulation! If you are interested in meeting Rico, please let us know!
