🌟 Meet Ricky! 🌟 This sweet boy is on a journey of rediscovery after being turned in as a stray at the Bakersfield Shelter. Just imagine being in a world where everything is new, and you’ve got to rebuild that trust! Ricky is a true velcro pup who thrives on human companionship. He’s here longing for a warm, loving home that understands that patience is key. ❤️ Right now, Ricky is learning the ropes – he's still mastering his leash, crate, and potty skills. While he’s finding comfort in using pee pads during this transition, he’s the kind of pup who needs a little gentle encouragement. It’s absolutely heartwarming to see him blossom, and he’s looking for humans who can guide him with love and care. Ricky is a little nervous around new people, but once he warms up, oh, the love he gives! Could Ricky be the furry friend you’ve been searching for? If you're ready to show this gentle soul the world, ensure to *apply through the Buddy App* to bring him home! 🐾 His adoption fee is $495, which lovingly covers his vaccines, microchip, and neuter. Don't forget, the journey of trust begins with you! Together, let’s make Ricky’s dreams come true! So go ahead and *apply to adopt him through the Buddy App*!
