Tico looking for his forever home

Meet Tico.. A slender 3 yo neutered male weighing 60 lbs. Small but very enthusiastic boy. He can chase a tennis ball for an hour, crawl up a ladder to a platform fort, and carry 3 tennis balls in his mouth. He has always lived with other dogs and cats and is currently being fostered with a golden and lab. Does great with kids of all ages and will follow directions and drop his ball for kids as young as 7 yo. He is a bit of a counter surfer and will pull on a leash. His medical is completed and he is neutered. After receiving his medical records in February, we were very surprised in April when he went in for some seasonal allergies on his feet. 1) Tico has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 heart murmur. After performing an echo there is no medication or further action. The full results will be made available upon request. 2) Tico has also been diagnosed with Ichthyosis. This is a genetic issue when both parents are carriers. We are fortunate to have a reference who adopted Golden from us and is open to discussing general maintenance, • Ichthyosis in dogs is a condition that can cause dry skin like dandruff • Management includes regular bathing with over-the-counter non-soap shampoo. Frequency depends on the time of year when fish oil and vitamin A are consumed. No special diet. The health conditions are manageable and he continues to live his best life. Tico is being fostered in San Jose
