Any other information that you would like to include about your dog: |
Tico is a Havanese, which is a toy breed and the national dog of Cuba, the second of his kind in PAWSitive Therapy Troupe! Tico was rescued from a puppy mill by the Havanese Angel League Organization (H.A.L.O). He is named after a famous Cuban, Tico Torres, the drummer of the rock band Bon Jovi. He lives with another Havanese, Desi, who is also a therapy dog in the Troupe. In his free time, Tico enjoys playing with Desi, and "chase games" with his favorite toys. We are also participating in the Dancing Paws freestyle dance group. |
