My personality

My story

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

Meet Rick!

A soulful nine-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever mix currently in Round Rock, TX, whose gentle heart and calm spirit make him the kind of companion everyone dreams of. With his sleek charcoal coat, expressive eyes, and 75 pounds of affectionate loyalty, Rick is the definition of a steady and loving friend.

Rick is the kind of dog who makes a house feel like a home. He’s house-trained, polite, and thrives in a peaceful environment where he can be close to his people, his favorite place is right by your side! Whether it’s a cozy evening curled up on the couch or a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, Rick is happiest when he’s sharing life’s simple moments with his family. He has a special fondness for stuffed animals and is always up for a stroll, though he’s just as content lounging quietly in good company.

Having spent his life in a nurturing family setting, Rick is used to the rhythm of daily life, including calm mornings, evening walks, and lots of love. He’s great with children of all ages, making him a wonderful match for families looking for a steady, emotional support companion. While Rick is friendly with most dogs, he tends to steer clear of dominant males, preferring calm canine company. He hasn’t had experience with cats, so slow introductions would be best.

Rick is healthy, neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on his care. He knows basic commands like sit, stay, and lie down, and while he hasn’t had formal obedience training, his laid-back nature and good manners make him an easy roommate. He handles short periods alone just fine, he’s used to waiting patiently during the workday, but his true joy comes from shared time in the evenings.

He does get a bit anxious during thunderstorms or fireworks, so a calm, reassuring environment will help him feel safe and supported. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will greet you at the door, rest his head on your lap, and love you with quiet, unwavering loyalty, Rick might be the perfect match!

Could Rick be the steady, loving soul your family’s been waiting for? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more!

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with.
