pico piqueno

DOB: 5/19/23 Approx Weight: 13 Lbs Adoption Fee: $275 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness! Meet Pico — aka Piqueno! 3 years old | Shih Tzu/Terrier Mix | 13 lbs. | Male Pico may only weigh 13 pounds, but this little guy is absolutely packed with personality, playfulness, and LOVE! ❤️ Pico came to Furry Kids after his owner had to move into assisted living. Losing the home and person he knew was a big change, but Pico has adjusted beautifully in his foster home. He is a happy, playful little guy who loves having fun—but when playtime is over, he is more than ready to curl up on your lap. Pico is a true little cuddle bug who loves being close to his person! Pico does great with other dogs. We believe he previously lived with two other dogs, and he is currently sharing his foster home with two furry foster siblings. We do not know how he would do with cats. He does need a slow introduction to other dogs initially. It appears Pico wore a belly band for much, if not all, of his previous life, so he never really learned proper house-training. The good news is that he is catching on quickly! In his first six days in his foster home, he had only ONE accident. His new family will need to continue working with him and be patient and consistent while he finishes learning. Pico already comes when called—although you may not have to call him very often because he really likes sticking close to his human! His foster is currently working with him on “sit” and leash walking. He actually gets pretty excited when the leash comes out because he knows it means he gets to go somewhere! He is crate trained, sleeps through the night, and rides great in the car. Pico is accustomed to having a fenced yard, but we don't feel one is required for him as long as his family is committed to regular walks, potty breaks, and plenty of activity. Pico is simply a happy, affectionate little guy who LOVES attention. He would love a family who wants a little companion to play with, take along on adventures, and—most importantly—snuggle with at the end of the day. If you're looking for a playful little shadow who thinks being with his person is the best place in the world, Pico just might be your guy! ❤️ I have been neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, wormed and microchipped.
