Meet & Greet Availability:
Rico's foster is happy to meet approved adopters within approximately 30 minutes of their home.

Before coming to rescue, Rico spent over a year living in a gas station parking lot in Mexico after being abandoned. The employees cared for him the best they could, feeding him every day while hoping someone would eventually give him the life he deserved.

Today, Rico finally has that chance.
