My story

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

We heard someone say this about Rickey recently, and it just broke our hearts:
"He's just kind of plain. Another big brown male dog. Nothing too special about him."

But when we look into his eyes, we see something different.

We see a weary traveler, a dog who's lived in filth and never had a clean home to relax in.

A wounded warrior, who has scrounged for food and fought to stay alive when no one was taking care of him.

A voiceless soul, who couldn't ask for help when his owner went into hospice. He and his doggy siblings were left to fend for themselves. Rickey may not be a coonhound or basset but he is absolutely the definition of a Helpless Hound.

He been through so much in his 4 years, and has never known what it's like just be a dog.

UNTIL NOW.

Here's to you Rickey, and your new life. We are here to make sure you get to live every day to the fullest. We will make sure you know that you will be clean, fed, and have a warm home to rest your head in. We will take care of you everyday until your new family comes along. And we promise to remind you, every single day, just how special you are.

This animal has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Now, he is prepared for his forever home!
