My story

Meet Rico! | Adopt Me | Videos Meet Rico, our 5 year old mini Jindo mix just shy of 25lbs.   Rico is extremely docile and timid, but has been warming up with the help and guidance of her foster sister. The city streets can be a little much for her, but day by day she’s gaining confidence and learning to stop to smell the flowers.   To say Rico is a dog’s dog is an understatement; she loves nothing more than being by her foster sister’s side and taking note on how to be a dog. Though her scruff is scruffy, she’s just as soft as her personality. Little Miss Rico will thrive with continued guidance and a confident owner ready to show her the wonders of the world aren’t so scary after all.   She still needs a little time before she can come to events, but pre-approved adopters can set up a private meet and greet with this special girl!   Come meet our adoptable dogs at this weekend’s Korean K9 Rescue events!   Join us for our next Korean K9 Rescue Adoption Event at Unleashed by Petco – Park Slope! Come meet some of our adoptable pups, chat with our rescue team, and learn more about how you can get involved with our mission.   Whether you’re looking to adopt, curious about fostering, or just want to say hello, we’d love to see you there.    Date: Saturday, August 16, 2025  Location: Unleashed by Petco – 81 Seventh Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217  Time: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM  Pre-approved adopters: 12:00 PM – 12:30 PM The first 30 minutes are reserved for pre-approved adopters. If you’re hoping to adopt, we encourage you to apply early for priority access.   Learn more about our adoption process: www.koreank9rescue.org/adoption-procedures www.koreank9rescue.org/adoption-faq   Korean K9 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit saving dogs from the Korean dog meat trade and overcrowded shelters.   Support our mission: • Donate: www.koreank9rescue.org/donate • Patreon: www.patreon.com/koreank9rescue ##2444847##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rico, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
