When Rico first
arrived, he didn’t know
what to make of the
shelter or why he was
suddenly homeless.
Rico is still bewildered
by the commotion of
shelter life. He needs
a moment to warm
up, but he relaxes into
a great dog. To adopt
Rico or any of the
other available dogs
and cats searching
for a home, visit
pawsatlanta.org or stop
by the shelter at 5287
Covington Highway in
Decatur. ESI
