Tico is a Belgian Tervuren born on November 17, 2015. His owner, Julie Koidin, contacted Belgian Tervuren Rescue as she was particularly interested in the breed and also wanted to help an unwanted dog. The organization in turn put her in contact with Cheryl Lee, a breeder in Ohio. Cher had an unexpected liter of Tervs which she wanted to place in homes. Julie was lucky to be one of those forever homes for her little Tico who arrived in Chicago on February 5, 2016.
