🌟 Meet Ricardo, the delightful 8 lb Papillon Mix who is here to provide unparalleled warmth and affection! 🌟 Imagine coming home after a long day, and there he is, your furry little lap warmer, declaring with his heart that he wants nothing more than to be right there with you—snuggled up on your lap, cozied against your side, or nestled beside you in bed. 🥰 This tiny treasure is not only soft and fluffy but his sweet eyes are windows to a heart that knows only love. You see, Ricardo is an incredibly gentle and affectionate soul. This lovebug doesn’t discriminate; he adores everyone! Children, adults, men, women—if you call him, he’ll bounce right into your life with boundless joy, tail wagging like it’s a party! 🎉 Let’s chat about his charming personality: - He is extremely clingy—this little Velcro dog simply adores having his humans close! - Sleeping with his people is his official hobby—who wouldn’t want a snuggle buddy like him at night? 🌙 - He’s fantastic with other dogs and would feel extra secure with a small, confident companion to show him the ropes. 🐾 - Short walks and explorations delight him—adventures together create memories. - He's eager to please—yes, that means he’s *food motivated* and ready to learn all the tricks! 🍖 - However, he’s a sensitive guy who thrives best with gentle, positive encouragement. Now, Ricardo is working on a few things, but don't fret! 🛠️ - Potty training is in progress (he's recently been neutered, so he’s bound to improve soon!). - He's still figuring out the world of chew bones—he’s not entirely a toy aficionado just yet. - This little cherub does not like being alone—he really flourishes with companionship and friendly faces around him! While he may feel a bit insecure in new situations, place him with a confident dog and a reassuring human, and watch him blossom into the most joyful little shadow you’ve ever known. Ricardo is ready to bring warmth, laughter, and unwavering loyalty to his forever home. Adoption means uncovering an incredible love story waiting to unfold, and with Ricardo by your side, it’s guaranteed to be epic! 💖 Ricardo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative, currently situated in the Lutz area of Tampa. If you feel that connection and are prepared for a cuddle buddy who will adore you wholeheartedly, don't wait! Apply to adopt this furry gem through the Buddy App today! 📲
