About this Dog
Meet Rico, a 1-Year-Old Poodle Mix and 100% certified goofball. Rico is the life of the paw-ty! This fun-loving, playful, and wildly affectionate pup is on the lookout for a forever home that matches his zest for life. Whether he’s rolling in the grass, chasing after a toy, or snuggling on the couch at the end of the day, Rico knows how to make every moment count. He is house-trained and working on settling down in his crate. He’s still mastering the fine art of leash walking, “off,” and “settle,” but his foster says he’s picking things up quickly thanks to his smarts and eagerness to please. Got a pocketful of treats? Rico will have a pawshake and a sit ready in no time. Rico is great with other dogs, especially if they appreciate a buddy who plays with enthusiasm. He’s working on respecting boundaries and learning that not every dog wants to wrestle as much as he does—but hey, he’s young and eager to learn! Rico would do best with someone who is home often since he thrives when he's near his person. He’s working on his independence, but for now, he'd really prefer a sidekick gig. Rico would do well in a home without children or with older, dog-savvy kids who understand that he’s still a work-in-progress. Due to his vocal nature and excitement for life, apartment living wouldn’t be a great match but a yard or space to play? He’d be all in. Rico is given an A+ in cuteness, intelligence, and treat motivation. He loves toys—especially ones he can toss in the air like a tiny, furry quarterback. Rico is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines. His adoption fee is $415. Ready to let Rico bounce his way into your heart (and maybe your lap)? Apply to adopt him today at EHRDOGS.ORG.

Adopt Rico NJ and Receive Rico NJ's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Rico NJ's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Rico NJ's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Rico NJ, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Rico NJ's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Rico NJ was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Rico NJ’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Rico NJ’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Rico NJ’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
