About Ricky

Meet Ricky! This cheerful dog is always ready for fun and affection. He adores cuddling on the couch or snacking on tasty treats, and his tongue has a knack for sticking out just a bit too far. Ricky brings a medium energy level to the mix; while he loves to nap, he’s equally happy sniffing around outside or hopping in the car whenever he hears the keys jingle. Fully potty-trained, Ricky walks relatively well on a leash but may give a gentle pull. He’ll need a little encouragement to get into his kennel, but he’s okay with spending some time there. Though he's working on some skin issues due to alopecia, the plan includes simplifying his diet by removing chicken. Ricky gets along with other dogs and cats, and while he's interacted well with kids around 12 years old, his experience with younger children is limited. If you're searching for a companion to bring laughter and companionship on cozy road trips, Ricky is your perfect match. He’ll be fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and ready for his forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
