Meet Ricky, the delightful 9-month-old Lab mix with an irresistible charm that will make your heart melt! 🐾 Weighing in at about 35 pounds, Ricky embodies the playful spirit of a puppy and the beloved soul of a professional cuddler. He’s almost fully house trained—what a smart cookie! 🍪 When nature calls, he’ll stand or pace near the door, letting everyone know it's time to go out for a little adventure. 🐕 Ricky is a proud member of the 'Velcro Puppy Club,' requiring all the cuddles and connection you can give! He loves curling up, resting his head on your lap, or draping himself over you like a warm blanket of puppy love. ❤️ At bedtime, he happily hops into his crate, especially when he spots his treat bag. He sleeps soundly through the night and can be left crated for 6–8 hours – a true angel! 😇 This affectionate ball of joy thrives on moderate daily exercise, which can mean a couple of short walks, playful fetch sessions, or even some cuddle time on the couch (his favorite)! 🎾 Ricky has a penchant for toys, especially stuffed ones he can enthusiastically de-stuff. He also enjoys busy treats that challenge his quick mind! 💡 While he’s mastered the “sit” command, this still-growing pup is learning about personal space—like not jumping and respecting fences (let's keep those jumps under 4 feet, buddy!). Ricky is friendly with cats and loves to play, though he sometimes needs a gentle reminder about boundaries. With kids, he hasn't had much experience yet, but he’s a quick learner, especially with humans who know how to guide him. 🧑‍🧒 He’s a social guy, so expect some excitement when he sees other dogs, but rest assured, his bark is worse than his bite! In Ricky’s ideal world, he’s lounging on the couch with his humans, surrounded by love, laughter, and lots of toys! He’s looking for a home where he can snuggle up and play freely, with folks eager to continue his training journey. If this sounds like your home, Ricky could be the perfect addition to your family! It’s vital to know that Ricky requires a meet and greet with any potential furry siblings to ensure they hit it off. After all, harmony is the key to a peaceful home! 🏠 To bring this heartwarming bundle of joy home, make sure to *apply through the Buddy App*. 🥳 Let’s get this adventure started!
