My name is RICKY(LOST EVERYTHING HE LOVED!

RICKY***CONTACT KAT katkylabrescue@gmail.com RICKY'S STORY--HE DESERVED BETTER!!! RICKY LOST EVERYTHING HE LOVED!! WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH LETTING US KNOW THAT RICKY'S FAMILY HAD JUST SURRENDERED HIM AND ALSO THEIR OTHER FAMILY DOG TO HER SHELTER. THE FAMILY BROUGHT RICKY AND HIS BEST DOGGIE BUDDY TO THE SHELTER, SIGNED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK GIVING THEM UP AND WHEN THE DIRECTOR ASKED WHY THEY WEREN'T KEEPING THEIR PUPS THEY REPLIED "WE'RE MOVING, MY WIFE DOESN'T WANT DOGS IN HER NEW HOME, WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THEM WE JUST DON'T WANT THEM!!!" THE FAMILY TURN AND LEFT NEVER EVEN SAYING GOODBYE TO THEIR TWO PUPS. THE DIRECTOR TOLD US THAT RICKY STOOD LOOKING OUT THE SHELTER WINDOW WATCHING AS HIS FAMILY DROVE AWAY, HIS TAIL WAS WAGGING AS IF HE KNEW THEY WERE COMING BACK FOR HIM, THEY DIDN'T!!! "THIS IS SUCH A SWEET FELLOW, HE IS SO CONFUSED HIS BEST FRIEND HAS BEEN ADOPTED NOW RICKY HAS NOT ONLY LOST HIS FAMILY BUT HIS BEST DOGGIE BUDDY, HE IS SO SAD AND CONFUSED NOT KNOWING WHERE HE IS, WHERE HIS BEST FRIEND HAS GONE OR WHY HIS FAMILY LEFT HIM. HE DOESN'T BELONG HERE. WE ARE EXTREMELY FULL, CAN YOU HELP HIM?" WAS THE SHELTER DIRECTOR'S PLEA TO US. ALL IT TOOK WAS ONE PICTURE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL FELLOW AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY WITHIN MINUTES TO HELP. WHEN WE SAW RICKY WE SPOKE SOFTLY TO HIM, GAVE HIM A TREAT HE SLOWLY LIFTED HIS HEAD, THE LOOK IN HIS EYES SEEMED TO SAY "PLEASE HELP ME"---WE DID!!. RICKY LEFT THE HIGH KILL SHELTER THAT DAY ALL READY TO BEGIN HIS NEW LIFE. WHEN OUR DIRECTOR OPENED HER CAR DOOR RICKY HOPPED IN, HE GAVE HER A LICK ON HER HAND, MAYBE THIS WAS HIS WAY OF THANKING HER FOR SAVING HIM!!! RICKY****LOVING--WITH HIS "MELT YOUR HEART" FACE!!!!" RICKY IS A BEAUTIFUL,18 MO. OLD, YELLOW LABRADOR MIX WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT OTHER BREED RICKY IS A COMBINATION OF POSSIBLY A SMALLER BREED LIKE A BEAGLE, HE IS NOT A BIG FELLOW A DELIGHTFUL SIZE TO FIT IN ANY LIVING ARRANGEMENT. HE HAS THE LOOK OF A LAB ONLY IN A SMALLER VERSION, HE IS PERFECT FOR FOLKS WHO LOVE THE LOOK OF THE LAB BUT AREN'T UP FOR A 75 LB. DOG. DON'T PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR HEART WHEN YOU SEE RICKY BECAUSE ONE LOOK AT THAT FACE AND YOU'LL BE A GONNER!!! THE FIRST THING THAT WILL CATCH YOUR ATTENTION IS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FELLOW HE IS. HIS COAT IS SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET, A PALE PALE CHAMPAGNE(ALMOST WHITE) COLOR, YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB RICKY ALL DAY AND THIS IS JUST FINE WITH HIM. HIS FACE IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES WE HAVE SEEN, THEY ARE A RICH, WARM DARK GOLDEN COLOR WITH A TRUE "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION IN OUR OPINION IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO. RICKY IS A TRUE COMPANION HIS TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING WITH HIS FAMILY. RICKY ALSO ADORES THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS, A DOGGIE BUDDY TO RU AND PLAY WITH AND RICKY LOVES TO PLAY!!. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH RICKY JUST TAKE HIM ALONG. HE WOULD LOVE AN EARLY MORNING OR LATE AFTERNOON WALK, RICKY WILL PRANCE ALONG TAKING ALL THE SIGHTS ALONG THE WAY. IF YOU HAD ERRANDS TO RUN AROUND TOWN DON'T LET RICKY HEAR YOU JINGLE YOUR KEYS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON TAKING HIM ALONG, JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR, IN RICKY WILL HOP, HE WILL FIND HIS SEAT TURN THAT BEAUTIFUL HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU HIS "OK I'M READY LET'S GO " LOOK. RICKY'S TRUE HAPPINESS IS JUST BEING WITH THOSE HE LOVES. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO THIS COMPANION PUP'S PACKAGE AND IT IS APPARENT AFTER SPENDING ANY TIME WITH RICKY THIS IS ONE SMART FELLOW!!! HE IS ALWAYS ALERT AND IN-TUNE TO HIS SURROUNDINGS, A PUP THAT DELIGHTS IN LEARNING WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TEACH HIM. HE FINDS NEW THINGS INTERESTING AND A CHALLENGE. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT WITH THIS EXCEPTIONAL GUY. HE IS A TRUE "OPEN BOOK" AND IT'S UP TO YOU TO FILL THE PAGES WITH PATS--HUGS--FUN--PLAY--BUT MOST OF ALL AND MOST IMPORTANT FILL THIS PUP'S BOOK WITH A TON OF LOVE. WE FEEL THAT THE PERFECT HOME FOR RICKY WOULD BE ONE THAT MOVES AT AN EASY PACE, HE WOULD ALSO ADORE A HOME THAT HAS ANOTHER DOG HAVUNG LIVED WITH ANOTHER DOG ALL OF HIS LIFE THIS IS THE LIFE HE IS USE TO. RICKY WOULD BE A DELIGHTFUL CHOICE FOR A RETIRED COUPLE, SINGLE GUY OR GIRL OR A FAMILY WITH GENTLE EASY GOING OLDER CHILDREN WHO ARE OLD ENOUGH TO PLAY WITH HIM BUT ALSO CHILDREN WHO WOULD ENJOY QUIET TIME WITH RICKY WHILE THEY DID THEIR HOMEWORK OR WATCH A MOVIE, A FAMILY WHO WOULD INCLUDE RICKY IN EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIFE. IF YOU DECIDE TO MAKE RICKY A PART OF YOUR LIFE YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERYDAY HE IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE WITH A GENTLE, LOVING GUY, A SOFT FELLOW WHO IS DEVOTED TO HIS FAMILY AND LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING. BEING PART OF A FAMILY IS THE ONLY LIFE RICKY HAS KNOWN, THE LIFE HE SO DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. RICKY IS A LOVING, SENSITIVE PUP WHO'S ONLY WISH IS TO BELONG TO A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE HE IS AND LOVE HIM. IF THE "COMPANION" YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE IS ONE WHO'S GREATEST JOY IS PLEASING, LOVING HIS FAMILY AND A PUP WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL "MELT YOUR HEART" FACE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER RICKY IS YOUR PUP!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO RICKY WAS NOT HIS FAULT, HE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, HE LOVED HIS FAMILY WITH EVERY OUNCE OF HIS BEING IT WAS HIS FAMILY WHO WERE COLD AND UNCARING, THEY BROKE THEIR PROMISE TO LOVE RICKY AS LONG AS HE LIVED,THEY LIED AND JUST THREW HIM AWAY--HE DESERVED BETTER!!!
