About Ricky

Ricky is looking for a quiet home after losing his owner. This loving guy loves to be close to his humans, often preferring to sit in your lap. He gets along fine with other small dogs but is indifferent to their company. While he enjoys being off-leash, he isn’t a fan of collars or harnesses. Ricky would thrive in a home with one or two adult companions; children are not a good fit for him. Though he has cloudy eyes suggesting some vision impairment, his loyalty and affection shine through. At 15 lbs, he's a handsome little companion who will remain devoted to his special person.
