My story

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

Rico is a sweet, lovable boy who is all about pleasing his humans. With his big heart and even bigger personality, Rico is looking for a forever home where he can share his love and joy.

Rico is a well-mannered pup who knows how to keep his cool. He's not a barker, fence jumper, or digger, making him a great companion for any household. While Rico might jump up to greet you when you first meet, he's easily corrected and just wants to show his enthusiasm and affection. Once he knows what you want, Rico is eager to please and quickly becomes a well-behaved buddy.

Rico has already mastered several commands, including "wait," "sit," "shake," and "go to bed." He's a quick learner and enjoys the mental stimulation that comes with training. Rico also loves car rides and easily gets into the vehicle, ready for any adventure that comes his way.

Rico would thrive in a home where he can get plenty of attention and affection. His ideal family would appreciate his playful, gangly nature and provide him with consistent training and exercise.

FOSTER'S NOTES: Rico has many wonderful qualities. He sleeps through the entire night. I am grateful for that. He puts himself to bed if he thinks I am up too late! He WATCHES television and goes right up to the screen from his chair for ALL dogs.

Don't miss out on the chance to bring this sweet and eager-to-please boy into your family. Adopt Rico today and enjoy the unconditional love and joy he has to offer!

Our adoption fee helps cover expenses (vaccinations, microchips, spay/neuter, food, housing) for the homeless pets we rescue. UAF does not adopt or ship outside the state of Arizona. To ensure the best fit, UAF conducts a home visit to meet other pets and verify a safe, secure yard.

If you have any questions or to adopt a dog an application must submitted. Filling out this form does not obligate you to adopt, but gives us the information needed to make sure the pet is suited to your home.
