My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ricky Bobby, our very polite, distinguished boy! This sweet pup is a true gem, adoring new friends once heandamp;#39;s given the time to warm up. Rickyandamp;#39;s best self shines when heandamp;#39;s in our playpen or on the track since he is able to showcase his playful and endearing nature there. When venturing out for a walk, itandamp;#39;s advisable to avoid busy traffic areas since all the hustle and bustle can make him feel overwhelmed. For Ricky, the ideal home is one with plenty of space, away from bustling city environments. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;His love for stuffies is unmatched, and heandamp;#39;s the ultimate fetch enthusiast. Ricky can go on playing fetch for hours, and even when you think heandamp;#39;s done, heandamp;#39;ll eagerly want to continue. Since he loves his toys so much, itandamp;#39;s always best to have more than one with you so he is able to stay engaged and not play keep away. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Beyond stuffies and fetch, Ricky enjoys a variety of engaging activities like wobblers, dental chews, sniff boxes, and snuffle mats. However, he wanted to make sure we let you know he is not a fan of peanut butter. If youandamp;#39;re ready to provide Ricky with the space, love, and understanding he deserves, heandamp;#39;s ready to charm you with his sweet, playful demeanor!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;As part of our Patient Paws special, Ricky Bobbyandamp;#39;s adoption fee will be waived.
