My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FOSTER NOTES: Meet PACO, A true Legend in his own mind. Paco can do it all, He is the perfect comfort dog & is highly skilled in teaching the art of belly rubs and snuggles. He has the cutest shovel jaw/under bite and is committed to being your loyal shadow where ever you may go. Who needs a doorbell when you have Paco guaranteed to alert you two seconds b4 the doorbell rings. He will keep your seat warm while you go to the potty OR he can be your potty patrol support tech AND Paco will keep watch while you enjoy your meal in order to make sure you eat every bite...treats appreciated. Very sweet little boy, He needs someone who is home all day, a retired couple with another playful buddy would be perfect for this little sweetheart. notation his left eye is underdeveloped (a congenital birth defect) Foster says, `that he cannot see out of his eye`. He requires drops 3 times per day.
MEDICAL NOTE: PACO has been diagnosed with congenital irritable esophagus; excessive barking may cause chronic coughing. Paco may need occasional ongoing Veterinary care and possibly medication when irritation occurs. Will need health waiver at adoption. Foster never leaves him alone and takes with her whenever she goes out.
