My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Chico

Bear with us - this story has a sad start, but a beautiful ending! Chico came to us in rough shape - emaciated, sick, and neglected. After receiving treatments to help him heal his body, he's slowly started to heal his heart - and has become the biggest mush and love you will ever meet. His hound side comes through when he's introduced to new places that he can sniff and explore for hours. But he also is also an incredible snuggler and will plop his giant body down on your lap and force you to cuddle him. He's truly a wonderful animal who, despite missing out on love for his first few years, will quickly open his heart to you and love you forever.
