Meet Chico – Certified Love Bug & Happiness Specialist
Chico is a young male Doberman with a heart as big as his adorable goofy grin! He will be his best life in a North Dakota foster home (after being saved from the shelter), Chico is soaking up all the love—and has plenty more to give!
This charming boy is young at heart, full of playful energy, and absolutely obsessed with cuddles. His specialties include tail wags, leaning into your legs for pets, and sneaking smooches when you least expect them.
Chico’s perfect day? A romp in the yard, a game of fetch (or something that vaguely resembles it), and snuggling up on the couch next to his favorite human. He’s ready to be someone’s best friend, hiking buddy, shadow, and snuggle therapist—all in one handsome package.
If your home is missing a little joy and a lot of love, Chico is your guy.
Adopt Chico, and get ready to fall head over heels—this love bug is waiting just for you! www.uniteddobermanrescue.org
