Meet Chico! 🐾💛
This handsome boy is now our longest resident here at FHS, and it breaks our hearts to say it. Chico was adopted from us as a puppy, and he's been adopted and returned FOUR times in his short life. But here's the thing: not one single time has it been about him.
Every time Chico has come back to us, it's had nothing to do with his behavior. Health struggles. Changing living situations. Life circumstances completely out of his control. He is a gentle, loving boy who just keeps getting caught in the crossfire of other people's hard moments. 💔
This time, he's been waiting since April. That's 5 long months of watching other dogs get adopted while he stays behind.
He's only 3 years and 4 months old and already knows what it feels like to be given up on, over and over. He can be a little shy at first (wouldn't you be, after everything he's been through?), but give him a few minutes and his true goofy, affectionate personality comes right out. 😊
🐕 83 lbs of pure love
🚶 Loves walks, yard zoomies, and splashing in the water
🏠 House-trained, crate-trained, and knows his commands
🐶 Good with other dogs
❤️ Sweet, loyal, and SO ready for his real forever home
Chico's adoption fee is fully sponsored, so there's nothing standing between him and the home he deserves. 🏡
Please, if you've been thinking about adding a loyal best friend to your life, ask to meet Chico. 🐾
