About Ricky

Ricky is a 2-year-old male Siberian Husky mix who initially found himself overwhelmed in the shelter, but he’s blossomed in a boarding environment. Shy at first, he quickly reveals his sweet nature, charming the staff with his playful energy. Ricky thrives on companionship, especially with other dogs, and he jumped right into playtime during his previous foster stay. Though he’s medium-energy and loves his meals and treats, Ricky still needs guidance as he learns his manners. He may counter surf and is working on responding to verbal cues, but his eagerness to please makes him a great candidate for positive training. While Ricky can adapt to various living situations, he would benefit from an understanding family that can give him space and patience, especially around children aged 7 and up. His past with cats is unknown, so a cat-free home might be best for now. Ricky can’t wait to find a family to show him how wonderful the world can be together. Give this deserving boy the loving home he craves!
