Pets of the Week: Roo and Rico

The Sauk County Humane Society has unveiled its featured pets, with comments from shelter staff. They are as follows.

Roo is a sweet 9-year-old mixed breed who came to SCHS after her family had to move. At 34 pounds, this easygoing girl has plenty of love to give and some pretty impressive manners to show off! She's fully house-trained, walks wonderfully on a leash, and knows come, sit, down, shake, and even how to dance pretty! Roo enjoys playing with toys, spending time with her people, and soaking up all the affection she can get. She's great with kids of all ages, does well with cats, and would enjoy having a small, playful dog buddy. Bigger dogs can be a little intimidating for her, so smaller friends are more her speed. Roo may be a little older, but she's got plenty of life and love left to share with a family of her own! She is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.

Rico is a sweet boy of about 4 who came to the shelter after his previous owners moved and couldn't bring him along. He's a friendly, easygoing guy who likes to greet visitors right at the front of his kennel, hoping someone will stop and spend a little time with him. Rico keeps his kennel nice and clean, is comfortable being picked up and carried, and has a quiet personality that makes him a pleasure to be around. He enjoys human company and is quick to show his appreciation with plenty of purrs, but he also has an independent side and is perfectly content doing his own thing. One thing Rico takes very seriously is his treats! He's always happy to accept a tasty snack, especially if it comes with a little extra attention. This gentle, lovable guy doesn't need to be the center of attention to be happy. He just enjoys having good company and a comfortable place to call his own. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations.
