Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

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


Rica is a very friendly dog. She has been raised around little kids, cats and other dogs most her life. She was originally my brothers dog but when he moved to Australia he was unable to bring her with him in 2021. She is about 13 years old but not 100% clear on her date as she was adopted. She walked up to my brother and sister in law on a beach during a vacation in Puerto Rico and they fell in love with her. They tried to find if there was an owner but when they did not find one, they decided to adopt her and that is where her name Rica came from (If she were a male it would have been Rico :-) ).

I have a new job and am traveling a lot more these days for work and can be gone for multiple weeks in a month and it is difficult for my wife to be at home with her since she cannot work from home. Now that I am not home as much, she is not getting the attention she needs. My wife is also having more reaction to her dander in recent time. It is manageable but more noticable recently.
