In need of a loving family
Rico is a 6 month old German shepherd mix. He’s great with men, women and especially loves children. Rico gets along with other dogs but cats are unknown. He’s truly the most patient dog I’ve ever seen. We adopted him from a shelter after being dumped on a bridge. I am no longer able to care for Rico due to personal health issues. We’d love to give Rico a chance to be loved.
