This beautiful boy is Kylo (originally named Spunky). We think he is about 4-6 years old, but given we dont know much about his history, it is hard to tell. He was found in a park: emaciated, full of fleas, and with a lot of skin problems / hair loss. He has been with his foster family since the middle of May. He has been making great progress with gaining weight, slowly growing his hair back, and learning to be the bestest boy. He is UTD on shots, neutered and microchipped. He is very good with kids. He absolutely loves his 3 year old in his foster house, but he can get anxious if someone is playing with his boy a little rough or he think his kid is in danger. A lot of stimulation and commotion can make him anxious. He is very good with his foster brother, who is the most docile dog out there, but he will bark at strange dogs, so slow introductions with other dogs are a must. Kylo would prefer to be the only pet in the house. He can be protective of his humans around other animals. He will chase cats, but not harm them. He is house trained. He may have an accident or two while he is acclimating but otherwise does a good job going outside. Must have a fenced yard or be walked on a leash! He does NOT love or like a crate. He free roams at his foster house without any issues, just make sure all your food is safely contained - he can be a counter surfer! Kylo loves to play with a ball and toys but equally loves to snuggle and be a couch potato with his person. Kylo is very intelligent! He knows basic commands and is highly motivated to please his person and learn. With consistency and patience, he will thrive! We joke that he shouldve been named shadow or Velcro because he will follow you everywhere - even to the bathroom Apply to meet him at ricopetrecovery.org. Adoption fee is $250

A 55lb birch-colored ball of energy, Arties silliness is one of his many lovable traits!

He is currently up to date with shots, neutered and is being taught basic commands. He may possibly be dog selective, but we are currently testing for that. He has not been tested with kids or cats. Artie would add so much love and fun to any home he would become a part of. Please consider giving this good boy a chance to show his loyalty and make you smile.

Meet Radar This pup will steal your This brave boy had a tough start, feeling confused and shut down when he first arrived. Radar was afraid of humans and unsure around other dogs. Radar has blossomed into a joyful little man! He has discovered the joys of rolling in the grass, playing in the yard, chewing on toys, going for walks, and meeting new people with growing confidence. While he gets along with dogs, we recommend he either be the only dog or have a passive doggie sibling his size. He is learning every day how to read signals from other dogs. It has been a true joy to watch him grow. Please consider giving Radar the loving home he deserves. He needs a forever or adopter to show him what a true dogs life is all about.

Benny was found severely emaciated in a house with another dog in December of last year. He was rescued with his companion (June Bug) by Good Samaritans and placed in Rico care. The two dogs were immediately taken to a veterinary clinic where they began their long road to recovery. Despite the horror he endured, Benny was very sweet and sought attention and love from everyone at the clinic. After two weeks in the hospital, Benny and June Bug were strong enough to be discharged and moved to a foster home to continue their recovery. Benny has blossomed into a gorgeous, healthy and athletic dog. Benny is very smart. He quickly learned the routines in his foster home and feeding times. He has learned to sit, shake and to ring the bells to go outside. Benny is house trained and crate trained. Benny loves to play fetch in the backyard and has learned to bring the ball back and to drop it. Benny walks very well on leash and has shown no aggression towards other dogs that he passes on his walks. Benny has also happily greeted all the dogs he met at adoption events and on park outings. Benny does not show any resource guarding with humans, but because of his past, he will always need to be fed separately from other dogs. Benny is doing very well in the home with his long time female companion (June Bug) and he would be happy as an only dog or with June Bug. Introductions to other dogs in the house would have to be slow, as is always recommended. Benny's fosters are willing to work with any interested families on slow introductions and slow transitions. Benny is not cat tested. We recommend a family for Benny with children older than 10 because he can get excited around people and may jump. Benny loves to snuggle on the couch in the evening and to chew on his favorite bones. Benny would love a fenced yard to continue to work on his fetching skills. He loves to run around and sniff all the good smells. The veterinarian thinks that Benny is about 3-4 years old and is a boxer mix, probably with a hound. Benny has been neutered and is up to date on his shots. Benny is looking for a forever family that loves outdoors adventures and with whom he can share his love.Apply to meet Benny at ricopetrecovery.org.

Sweet Leo is ready for his new home. Leo is a gentle, timid boy that takes a moment to warm up but will be snuggling in no time. He has great house manners and enjoys napping on the couch. He loves his chew toys and needs a few by his side to keep him busy. Leo would thrive in a quiet home with another gentle dog. He does not whine, bark or cry. He is learning to walk on a leash and still does not know how to play with toys. He came from a shelter and clearly had no exposure to the world before coming to us so everything is new and scary to him. Leo will let you know when he has to go out and enjoys a few nice zoomies around the yard a few times a day. Overall, he is low to moderate energy. You can apply to meet him at ricopetrecovery.org.
