Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Apply here at: http://welcomehomedogrescue.org/adoption/application-to-adopt-a-companion/
Ricky is a very happy and healthy 1 year and 9 month old, 9 1/2 pound Papillon mix. He is super affectionate and sweet. His coat is silky soft and he does NOT SHED! Ricky is very smart and knows basic obedience, including sit, stay, down, leave it, and bang! where he falls over when he's shot with your finger! He is neutered, crate trained and potty trained. Ricky is currently fostered in West Hollywood.
Ricky was rescued at 2 months old in South Korea. Angels in Korea saved him from a miserable life on the streets or a worse fate of being euthanized at the shelter. Mixed breed dogs have an almost impossible time getting adopted in Korea. In spite of Ricky's beautiful looks and engaging personality, he had 5 foster homes in the last year. He was sent to the United States to find what he so richly deserves - a loving forever home! Ricky has been fully examined by a vet and is very healthy. His blood work was excellent and he tested negative for heart worm, fecal parasites and ear mites. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Ricky! He is a tiny bit timid at first, but he warms up fast and will be your friend forever! Please give this boy a chance!
Ricky would be perfect for a person who spends a lot of time with their dog. He fits perfectly in a small purse so you can carry him with you. His foster mom does work, however, and he does just fine. Ricky would be comfortable in either an apartment or house, with a single person, couple or family with older children. He is especially fond of women and loves to sit on your lap. He enjoys the company of other pets, but he would also be suitable for a single dog household.
Ricky's non-refundable adoption fee is $300. All dogs are fully vetted, tested for heartworm, microchipped, and up to date with vaccinations. The application is the first step before we can schedule a meet and greet.
Our adoption process looks like this:
1. Adoption application review by WHDR board
2. Adoption application approval
3. Meet and greet
4. Home safety check
5. Final approval and adoption finalized
Our volunteers, donors and adopters mean the world to us! Without you, we couldn't do what we do - saving the lives of abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and providing them with a loving forever home.
