In the shelter’s words
*Name: Rico*Age: 6 years old*Current Weight: 13lbs*Adoption fee: $400Legally, he's known as Rico. Spiritually, he's Rico Suavemente Besame. This dog is unlike any other dog, and this is from his foster family who has fostered over a dozen dogs! This six-year-old Chihuahua mix has been diagnosed with Cushing's and may have had some brain damage. Those wonky eyes and upside-down-vampire teeth? That's his Signature Look. Everyone knows Rico, everyone loves Rico!Rico is certified dog-friendly (he prefers smaller dogs), cat-friendly (he thinks he's a cat) and kid-friendly (older kids with dog experience, that is). He puts the "potato" in couch potato, even though he has the most magnificent prance-walk. His favorite toys are small and soft... basically, cat toys. He also loves going into a cat carrier for car rides. And Rico is a talker! He groans when he gets good scritches and dances when you hit the spot. What Rico doesn't enjoy? Being picked up! It's the worst!Yes, Rico is special. Yes, he looks like a Picasso painting. Yes, there is no cure for Cushing's. But Rico is a joy to have and makes everyone laugh. He is worth the effort to get to know him and help him through his health journey.To apply to adopt, fill out an application at https://snarrnortheast.org/adopt/PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR FAQs
