About Ricky the pocket pittie

Meet Ricky the pocket pittie, a charming 1-year-old who’s both friendly and playful. Weighing in at just 35 pounds, he’s the perfect companion for anyone looking for a snuggle buddy who also enjoys playtime. With a unique partial heterochromia, Ricky has a blue stripe in one eye that’s said to bring good luck. Ricky is housebroken and has a bit of separation anxiety, but he'll settle nicely with a toy or bone in his crate. He’s eager to be by your side, loving walks and chasing balls. A home with daily activity and a securely fenced yard is preferred, but he can adapt to walks in a park. With positive reinforcement training, he's responsive and has mastered some commands, though he still needs guidance on indoor manners. Since Ricky thrives on companionship, potential adopters should have a flexible schedule. It’s crucial to commit to being his best friend and giving him the love he deserves. He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready to find a forever home. Reach out if you're interested in meeting Ricky!
