My story

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

Looking for someone to stay up and have late-night chats? If you said yes, Ricky is the pup for you!

While he doesn’t often take requests, Ricky does love singing the song of his breed. He also happily stays up chatting with his foster dad while he plays video games (his foster dad, not him, although Ricky does have commentary on how he is playing!)

Ricky is currently living with four other dogs in his foster home and is gaining confidence through them. He loves playing with the dogs and has started listening to their corrections as he learns how to be a dog in the home again. For this reason, we think another confident dog in the home would be beneficial for this boy.

Ricky will need continuous exercise, and is happy to run, walk and jog wherever you’d like to go. (However, we’re still working on the car, that thing is a little scary!)

Ricky is house trained and crate trained but has shown to be fine left in a gated off area as well.

Ricky is slow to trust but when he does, he loves his people hard. We’d love to find him a home with husky experience as he does exhibit typical husky behaviors that his foster parents are continuing to work on and he is excelling.

What’re you waiting for? Apply for your next singing partner now!

Where Your Purchase Helps Support Rescue!

More about this rescue

PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.

Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
