pup is on the lookout for a forever home that matches his zest for life. Whether he’s rolling in the grass, chasing after a toy, or snuggling on the couch at the end of the day, Rico knows how to make every moment count. He is house-trained and working on settling down in his crate. He’s still mastering the fine art of leash walking, “off,” and “settle,” but his foster says he’s picking things up quickly thanks to his smarts and eagerness to please. Got a pocketful of treats? Rico will have a pawshake and a sit ready in no time. Rico is great with other dogs, especially if they appreciate a buddy who plays with enthusiasm. He’s working on respecting boundaries and learning that not every dog wants to wrestle as much as he does—but hey, he’s young and eager to learn! Rico would do best with someone who is home often since he thrives when he's near his person. He’s working on his independence, but for now, he'd really prefer a sidekick gig. Rico would do well in a home without children or with older, dog-savvy kids who understand that he’s still a work-in-progress. Due to his vocal nature and excitement for life, apartment living wouldn’t be a great match but a yard or space to play? He’d be all in. Rico is given an A+ in cuteness, intelligence, and treat motivation. He loves toys—especially ones he can toss in the air like a tiny, furry quarterback. Rico is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines. His adoption fee is $415. Ready to let Rico bounce his way into your heart (and maybe your lap)? Apply to adopt him today at EHRDOGS.ORG.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
