Save Rico’s Sight: Give Him a Future Full of Light

Rico’s world is fading. 💔
This sweet 2-year-old Pitbull mix has already lost sight in his right eye due to painful complications, and vets say it can’t be saved. Without urgent surgery, his left eye will follow, leaving him in total darkness.
But there is hope. If we act now, cataract surgery could restore vision in Rico’s remaining eye and give him the gift of sight for the rest of his life. Imagine what that means for a young dog who’s already lost so much — the ability to see his foster mom’s smile, chase a ball, and move through the world without fear.
Rico was abandoned after his owner was evicted, left to an uncertain future until he found his way to Ruff Start Rescue. Despite everything, he’s still a gentle soul, a boy who loves his people, gets along with dogs, takes cues from cats, and enjoys walks and snuggles once he feels safe.
The surgeries, medications, and follow-up care come with a steep cost — but together, we can make it possible.
Will you help us give Rico the chance to see again?
Your gift today could be the difference between a lifetime of darkness and a future full of light, comfort, and love.
