My story

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

We removed Ricky from a home where he was fending for himself. He has been with us for three weeks and has made great strides! At two years old he is finally learning consistency and love but still can be a bit "spicy". He was certainly mishandled in the past but has become affectionate and lovable as soon as he knows you won't hurt him, and then he loves to hop in your bed and slip under the covers. We will place him in a home where he can continue with positive reinforcement and patience.
Ricky plays well with other dogs. He has been with kids with no issues. He is still learning housetraining since he has never been given any direction. He is cratetrained and walks well on a leash.
Ricky is a very sweet boy and just needs a patient family willing to work with him. He's been through a lot in his two short years but we love seeing all his positive changes and watching him trust again.

As a foster-based organization we have no physical facility and exist solely on the generosity of volunteers and foster families. Meet and greets will be arranged with a prospective adopter and the foster family.
