Paprika (aka Rico) is a sweet and snuggly boy. He is a 3 year old Chihuahua/ Italian Greyhound mix looking for his forever home. Paprika weighs 11.5 pounds and is full grown. It took him a little bit to warm up to being in a home but now that he has been in a foster home for a little while, there is nowhere else he would rather be then snuggling up with his forever family.  He has done well around men and women, but has never been around children that we know of. Paprika may do well around older dog savvy children that will go at his pace and respect his boundaries. His favorite past time is snuggling on a lap or snuggling up under a soft blanket. He is not very food motivated but he is a big people pleaser!  Paprika has also done well around other small dogs his size and cats too! The best way to work on tricks is with petting, playing and just telling him that he’s a good boy. Paprika enjoys going on walks, playing with toys, playing fetch, and running super fast in the yard. He is a great dog and will be so happy to meet his forever family! Paprika may require training as he adjusts in a new environment. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, vet checked and microchipped. His adoption fee is $260 which includes a free vet visit and 30 days of complementary pet insurance. To meet Paprika, please contact his foster Vanessa at vanessaspartan@gmail.com.
