Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rico, a handsome 3 year old 9lb Yorkie boy being fostered in Rhome, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.
My name is Rico. I am 3 years old and am a lovable 9 lbs. I am going to share my story and when I am done I hope you will fall in love with me. I am with an amazing foster family who is giving me so much love but I know my furever family is waiting for me. I spent my first 3 years with a warm sweet lady that could no longer care for me so her family was kind enough to bring me to their home for a while where we all found that the time had come to find my future life and family. I went from 1 person to 3 children, an apartment, missed having a yard, and shared love with another baby dog.
I follow foster mom everywhere, constantly trying to be in her lap, and hoping she will take me along with the family to brunch, go for walks and car rides. I have learned to sit, lay down and they have me in training to roll over (of course its for the treats) but I am berry berry smart.
Im sure you can tell that I love designer clothes so you can get new sweaters, T-shirts or whatever you think will keep me handsome. I love my foster dad and 9 year old brother and take my job of being a love bug very seriously. I am waiting for my first vet visit so I can get caught up on my vaccines and get neutered.
I have so much love to giveIf you think I would be a perfect boy for your family please complete an application below.
