Rico is the ultimate cuddler. He loves attention any way he can get it and readily rolls over for belly rubs. Warning: he may induce feelings of compassion as he mumbles during his naps from time to time. Other than napping, Rico loves to play with other dogs, go on walks, and sunbathe.  Rico is a typical puppy that will require ongoing training.

If you are interested in meeting Rico, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO.

Rico’s adoption fee is $250.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.
