Description:

Meet Rico!

Rico is a spirited little boy and has personality in spades! Rico has energy to spare and works off some of that energy playing in the backyard chasing his foster brother as well as the squirrels and rabbits. Rico loves to go on walks with his foster brothers. The dog park was a new experience recently and he did great! Rico met dogs of all sizes and shapes and got along well with all of them.

Rico does well around cats and pays little attention to them as they stroll past him. Check out his picture sleeping right next to a white cat and balancing on the cat scratch pole!

Rico enjoys meeting new people, especially if they will give him a good belly rub! He loves to play with the toys laying around the house and will keep himself amused if you’re not there to tussle with him.

Rico is not currently kenneled at night or during the day but has been in the past and does so with minimal disruption.

Rico deserves his forever family. Do you have room in your home and heart for Rico?

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
