Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ricky is a handsome 2-year old male Plott Hound mix who was brought to the HSOV on June 25, 2022 by a Good Samaritan who had found him on Zanesville Street in Beverly Ohio on June 20, 2022. That kind lady tried in vain for five days to find Ricky's family with no luck :( Ricky was wearing a collar but, unfortunately, there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on his collar ... And he was not microchipped.
Ricky has a brown/brindle short smooth coat with a large patch of white on his chest and belly, white markings on his legs, a deep chest cavity, a tiny docked tail, and a beautifully-marked face with expressive brown eyes, a narrow white stripe on his forehead, a white muzzle, and large floppy ears.
The Good Samaritan who kept Ricky for a few days told us that he is great with children and also with other dogs as well as cats. He is not yet housebroken. Surprisingly she never heard Ricky bark at all while he was at their home.
Ricky was a little cautious of the paparazzi when HSOV Kennel Tech Lauryn Hamilton took him outdoors late in the afternoon on June 25th. He looked to Lauryn for reassurance and 'protection' from the sound of the camera shutter.
Ricky weighs 43.2 lbs and has a slim boyish figure :)
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Ricky will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership.
Since Ricky was not reclaimed, he was neutered on July 15, 2022 and was also given rabies vaccine.
