Meet Rico
Big ol’ snuggle buddy alert! Rico is a handsome 4-year old German Shepherd. He is incredibly affectionate, loving and loyal. He loves cuddling up next to his person on the couch. True to his breed, he is highly intelligent, curious and goofy.
He is dog and cat-friendly! He engages in play chasing and wrestling with dogs, but he also enjoys keeping to himself. He would do well with a confident dog, but would also be happy on his own or with a dog-friendly cat. Rico is house-broken and crate-trained. He will happily go in his crate to relax with the door open.
Rico needs someone who can commit to working his mind and body every day. He is a total rockstar who knows many commands and is ready to show you everything he knows. Direct working breed experience is required. No children. Ages 16+.
He'd make a wonderful hiking/running companion! Rico takes a little while to warm up to new people, but once he does, he wants nothing more than to be right beside you wherever you are. He finds comfort at home. His forever home needs to be dedicated to providing him with structure and consistency, so he can continue to be the best version of himself. He truly loves to learn, loves to please and is always looking to his person for guidance.
Like many German Shepherds, Rico attaches himself to his person, and would love to find someone who is looking for lots of affection - he loves being your shadow.
Rico is up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered and microchipped! If you are interested in meeting him, please fill out an Adoption Application: https://lifeofrileyrescue.org/adoption-application
**He is currently being fostered in Portland, OR**
