About Ricky Sweet and Quiet

Ricky Sweet and Quiet is a 9-10 month old mix of Panda German Shepherd and Siberian Husky. Weighing about 50 pounds, he has a striking appearance with unique Panda markings and a gentle demeanor. Ricky isn’t just about looks; his sweet and submissive personality sets him apart. He has been fully vetted, neutered, and is heartworm negative. Currently living in Texas, he’s ready to travel to a loving home across many states or even to Canada. His journey began at just three months old when he and his sister struggled on the streets until a kind-hearted feeder contacted his foster mom. Both puppies ended up in a shelter, but after some effort, Ricky was rescued and taken to safety, where he now thrives with his playmate, Luc. Despite his robust lineage, Ricky is surprisingly quiet and rarely barks. He gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, toddlers, and people. Initially shy, he quickly warms up and reveals his loving nature. After facing challenges far too great for any puppy, he’s ready to find a forever home where he can be cherished. Ricky would be a fantastic addition to a family looking for a gentle and playful companion. Please note, an adequately fenced yard is required for adoption, and electric or underground fences are not acceptable. The adoption fee of $600 covers all vetting and essential care.
