This week's OLM Pet of the Week has the cutest set of ears we've ever seen! This week we want you to meet Chico, a 1-year-old potcake who is looking for a forever home with the help of Eastern Ontario Potcake Rescue. Chico was rescued from Roatan in pretty rough shape by a EOPR rescuer. He was extremely thin and covered in sores. Thanks to the hard work of the Roatan Animal Shelter, Chico has made a full recovery and officially moved to Canada after a month in their care.
Today, Chico is full of life and extremely energetic! He would especially make an awesome edition for an active family. He has mastered canine agility and would love to be able to continue honing this talent with his future adoptive family! He is a very fast learner and has been picking up new tricks quickly in his foster home. Chico is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. He is good with other dogs, and dog-savy cats and is also house-trained and crate trained.
If Chico sounds like the right fit for your home, you can email Eastern Ontario Potcake Rescue at saveapotcake@gmail.com for an adoption application.
About the Rescue:
EOPR rescues Potcakes and Jampups from Turks & Caicos and Jamaica and finds them forever loving homes here in Eastern Ontario! Their mission is to work with on-island rescue partners to help get homeless dogs off the islands so that they have a chance at a happy life. They also strive to foster educational programs about these dogs, the humane treatment of animals and fundraising to help facilitate donations and spay/neuter & wellness clinics on Caribbean Islands. You can find them on Facebook, and Instagram.
OLM Pet of the Week is a weekly segment on our site which showcases adoptable pets in our Capital. Each week a new pet will be featured in order to help them find a loving forever home. Any Ottawa-based animal rescue interested in having an adoptable pet featured can email isabel@ottawalife.com.
