Meet Turmeric "Ricky"—the goofy, lovable Spice Boy who’s ready to sprinkle some joy into your life! This 1-year-old Black Labrador Retriever and Chinese Shar-Pei mix is a big sweetheart with an even bigger personality. At around 75 pounds, Ricky has a strong, playful presence and a heart full of love to give.
Ricky had a brief stay with a family but came back to us through no fault of his own. He’s a fantastic dog—silly, social, and full of affection. Like many young pups, he still has a few goofy quirks, including using his mouth to show love. He’ll gently mouth your hand or arm in a playful, affectionate way—not to hurt, but to connect. It’s his version of a hug, and once you get to know Ricky, you’ll see how endearing it really is.
He’s a fast learner who responds well to redirection and is eager to please. Whether he’s romping around with dog friends or soaking up affection from his humans, Ricky is always happy to be part of the fun. He’s fully house trained, up to date on all his shots, microchipped, and already neutered. Ricky also rides well in the car, making him a great buddy for adventures big or small.
This boy does best in a home where he gets the attention, exercise, and structure he needs to thrive. A family who understands that Ricky’s love is just a little goofy—and a whole lot genuine—will be rewarded with endless loyalty, laughs, and cuddles. He’s great with other dogs, wonderful with kids, and ready to be part of a home where he can keep learning and growing.
If you're looking for a big-hearted dog who still acts like a goofy puppy, Turmeric "Ricky" might be the perfect match. Come meet this spicy sweetheart and see just how much joy he can add to your life.
