In the shelter’s words
At 7 years young and a perfectly portable 15 lbs, Chico is a seasoned pro at being a companion. After five years in a home, he found himself back at the same shelter he was rescued from, through a change in circumstances, but he hasn't let that dampen his spirits. Chico is looking for a fresh start where he can truly shine as the center of someone's world. He is incredibly friendly when meeting new people, and it’s rare to see him without his tail wagging. He’s house-trained and great on a leash. He loves giving kisses and head scratches. Chico is at a stage in his life where he knows what he likes: a predictable, mature environment. Because he values his personal space and flourishes with clear boundaries, he is looking for an adult-only home (no young children). Apply to meet Chico at https://muttsinneed.org/apply/adopt
