Rico will remain in the Recovery Room until cleared for adoption. He will have his vet intake exam soon. He has Cushing's Disease which is managed on medication.
Rico was surrendered due to his owner's health issues. Here is what she has to say about Rico: Rico is a loving Cockapoo, almost 9 years old. Has good energy and needs walks and exercise. Rico is very well house trained. He knows and responds well to 'sit'. Loves walks and playing with balls. Loves treats. Barks when he sees another dog walk by. Alerts me by barking when someone is at the door. Never aggressive but wants to greet everyone and tends to jump but once recognized, calms down quickly. Sturdy, muscular build with medium build - strong. Loves to sit in my lap and get petted. Likes to sleep under my bed. Rico would love a yard to play in. He loves to be petted and held.
