Rickie is a gentle sweetheart who moves through life with a soft presence. He can be shy at first, but once he gets comfortable, you’ll notice his little milestones—like the first time he leans in for a belly scratch, or when he quietly keeps you company as you start your day. He doesn’t bark much, and when he does, it’s rare enough to catch your attention. Rickie’s calm nature makes him an easy companion for quiet mornings or afternoons filled with quiet play. Mealtimes are a highlight—he trots over, tail gently wagging, ready for his bowl. After bouncing through a couple of shelters and then a home that didn't work out, Rickie arrived in foster care withdrawn, but he’s opened up and now enjoys simple things like learning to play with toys or curling up nearby. Rickie gets along well with other dogs and seems to thrive with canine buddies around. At ten years old, he’s looking forward to his Golden years in a home that values his gentle routine and patient heart. Rickie’s adoption fee is $250, which covers his neuter, microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations. Born September 17, Rickie’s a practical Virgo—no wonder he enjoys quiet routines and simple comforts.
