My story

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

Ricco is a charming senior boy who's currently in a foster home, eagerly awaiting his forever family. This lovable pooch loves leisurely walks and cozying up by your side. He may not be the most active pup, but his loyalty knows no bounds—he'll be your faithful shadow, following you around the house with unwavering devotion. He loves attention and doesn't mind telling you about it.

In terms of training, Ricco is top-notch! He's crate trained and potty trained, making him a breeze to care for. Plus, he's a champ when it comes to grooming—nail clipping is a breeze with this good boy!

Now, let's address the minor quirks: Ricco has a penchant for whining and the occasional pillow or blanket theft, but let's be honest, who can resist those puppy-dog eyes? Despite these small habits, everyone who meets Ricco falls head over heels for his charming personality.

It's important to note that Ricco has hip dysplasia and arthritis, but don't let that deter you! He manages just fine and enjoys his walks, although we recommend sticking to hikes with minimal steps due to his size. While it may become an issue down the road, Ricco is determined to make the most out of every moment with his new family.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to a gentle giant who will steal your heart with every wag of his tail, then Ricco is the perfect match for you. Come meet this lovable companion today and discover the joy of having a faithful friend by your side!

Additional adoption info

Our comprehensive adoption process includes a pre-adoption application, background checks (including vet check), home visit and adoption contract. You must be 21 or over to adopt from us. Unfortunately we are unable to adopt our Pitties or Pitty mixes to adopters living in Prince George's County, MD, due to the BSL in place there. Please remember to check your home owners policy to make sure that your insurance company will cover you for bully breeds.

Our adoption fee is based on the age and health of the animal.
For dogs and cats, please e-mail adoptpitties@gmail.com.
