Caico

This is Caico, a puppy rescued from St. Lucia who is looking for a lot of love and a peaceful home to really shine. At first, he can seem timid, but opens up and shows his true personality with some treats and gentle greetings. What we want to highlight is how his previous owners noted the way he went from excitedly playing with their senior dog, to being very gentle and supportive the moment she came back from hospitalization from a very intense medical episode; Caico is a very sensitive and attentive dog when it comes to emotions and matching the energy both humans and other dogs need.

Caico is a playgroup rockstar here at the shelter- he LOVES romping and playing in the yard with his dog pals, and gets along with every dog he meets. He also has lived with a smaller and larger dog and did very well playing with them, though he should be fed in a separate room as he is protective of his dinner, likely from his time having to protect his keep on the streets.

Once he becomes attached to you, Caico is a big fan of getting endless butt scratches while wrapping himself around your legs. He loves stuffed animals in particular, though he's fond of ripping them up and pulling out all their fluff. He is very sensitive to sudden changes and loud noises, and has poor depth perception due to only having one eye left, so he would do best in a home with folks who have plenty of time to spend working with him to help him grow his confidence.

Caico really needs a family who has the time, patience, resources, and knowledge to bring out the world's best pup hiding under his nervous exterior. If you have what this sweet guy needs, come pay him a visit at SPCA Cincinnati today!
