Rico - Dogs 4 Rescue

Rico

More about Rico

Rico is a shy, sensitive boy who takes time to build trust.
The good news is that Rico is ruled by his tummy and absolutely loves food which is a great tool for building a bond with him.

Rico is not yet ready to walk on lead but our team our working hard with this. He appears to have some past trauma of being restrained so this needs to be done slowly but Rico has shown great potential as he is a clever boy who picks things up quickly.

Rico mixes well with other dogs and we would like to find him a home with at least one confident dog to help show him the ropes! He is yet to be cat tested.

We are looking for an experienced foster/trial for Rico with someone who can continue his rehabilitation.
He will need a secure garden until he’s ready to brave the outside world. A quiet home with older, sensible children aged 16+ would suit him best.

Helping a dog like Rico will take patience but it will be an extremely rewarding experience.

Adoption fee: £300

About our dogs

Our dogs are microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, flea & wormed and have full travel documents where appropriate. If they are arriving from overseas they will have had all the pre-travel tests as required by DEFRA and are transported through the TRACES system. 

We pride ourselves on being honest and open about our dogs, sharing all we know about them including any known behaviour challenges or medical conditions. 

Like all responsible rescues we offer Lifetime Rescue Back Up to all the dogs who come through our doors. 

One month trial

We want our dogs to be happy in their homes for life, which is why we offer a full one month trial. As they start to relax and their personalities shine through you’ll know if your home life suits and how they get along with any other pets. 

If it’s not the right fit, they can come back to rescue and get straight back to playing, and we will try to find you a more suitable match. There aren’t enough homes out there so please don’t give up if your first dog doesn’t work out.
