Rico - 2 year old male Staffie

Rico, Staffie, DOB 01.10 - Gatwick, Surrey
*

Homing Requirements: Rico needs a level headed and balanced family who will love his cheeky energy and work in harmony with him to build his confidence and secure his trust. Rico is not for live-in children or regular visiting children as his energy is a little too high but he may settle. Rico needs a secure garden and exit management. An only pet as far as we can ascertain.
*
His Story: Rico was found stray and ended up in a Northern pound. We came forward for him when we were able to hire more kennels in early January. He came in very nervous and now is cheeky! Neutered, vax'd and chipped. Rico is in boarding kennels waiting for his family!
*
Advert: Rico has a certain Latin feel about him when he dances! He is the size of a small Staffie with a scrunched up little face almost French Bulldog! He needs to be in confident hands as we feel he may not have had the best of treatment in the past as he is a little hand shy and nervous of people on arrival. He has made friends with all the voluntary walkers and is beginning to entertain!
*
Rico is a little stunning orange brindle boy with a light frame. Rico is engaging and really needs a family to engage his enthusiasm within and on long walks. Jogs would suit him just fine too. Food is a great interest and he has put in a request for an owner who is a butcher; chef or both! Nice try Rico! He takes treats very gently.

***PLEASE NOTE: We are a rescue finding dogs their forever homes. We usually ask for a minimum donation of £150 at the time of adoption, for each dog, to help us continue helping homeless dogs***.

Just love this boy! Rico came into rescue in December 2011. I met him as an old friend down at the kennels on Saturday. 2 years old and spent far too much of his life in kennels - can you offer him a foster place or his forever home?
