Ricos can be shy, but once you get to know him, he will follow you everywhere. (Avery Jerina)

Name: Ricos

Age: 7 years old

Sex: Male

Breed: Boxer Mix

Ricos is a friendly canine who loves swimming and playing fetch. During the day, Ricos scampers along the grass with the other dogs. When the Texas heat is too much, he likes to hang out in the shade. He can be shy, but once you get to know him, he will follow you everywhere. He also likes to cuddle and he prefers adult companionship over small children. Ricos reminds me of Simba from “The Lion King” because he is always eager to explore his surroundings and doesn’t like to stay still. Ricos has been neutered and has received his rabies vaccination.
