Chico

Meet Chico, the canine comedian who is looking for a loving family to call his own! He's sweet, friendly, and an all-round goofball! Chico's tail spins like an airplane propeller, ready for take-off at the slightest hint of fun. He’s still working on his leash training but with a little time & patience, he could be an excellent walking or running buddy! Don't be surprised if he brings a little something home with him on his walks, he loves to hunt for treasures and bring home his findings! He’s a sociable chap, getting along well with other dogs, cats and kids alike. After a day full of play, he loves nothing more than a good cuddle. He’s not just a pet, but a companion, a playmate, and a source of endless laughter. With Chico, every day will be filled with joy and love. How did he end up here? He was found roaming the streets with his little sister and ended up in a high kill shelter in rural Louisiana. His sister was quickly adopted but Chico patiently waited for months to score his ticket to freedom and it finally came when Take Paws Rescue pulled him to safety. He’s been in rescue for several months now and we can’t figure out why this sweet boy has not been adopted yet! But don't worry, Chico's spirit has not been dampened by the wait. He's still the same cuddly, energetic, funny boy waiting for a family who appreciates his unique brand of comedy. Chico is believed to be around 2 years old, weighs around 50 lbs, he's up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped, neutered and HW negative. He has become one of the favorites at the local dog park near the rescue and plays well with all the dogs he meets but what would truly make him happy would be to land a forever home of his own, Adopt Chico and get ready for a lifetime of laughter and love!
