Story
Meet Rick!
Woof! Rick is my name and being the best boy is my game! I recently came to HAP when my last family couldn't keep me any longer but everyone's been telling me that another perfect family will come along really soon! I really hope so because I'm the best boy around! I love to go on walks, play with my toys - especially the squeaky ones, and make new friends. I've made so many new friends both on four legs and on two! The humans love to hold me like a little baby and I tell them thanks by giving them lots of kisses. I also really love to learn new tricks because I'm really smart and I always get yummy treats when I listen! I mean who doesn't love treats am I right!? All the people here have been telling me about a furever home where you have a family and they give you lots of love and toys and sometimes they'll even share bites of their human food! That sounds like the best thing ever!!! So stop by today and meet me so I can show you that I'm exactly what you've been looking for!
Puppies require a significant amount of structure, routine, time, patience, and training to learn how to behave properly in a home. The first few months of having a puppy is a critical time to establish boundaries and help your puppy understand what they can expect from you and what you expect from them. Remember, puppies aren’t born knowing how to live in a human’s world, it is up to you to teach them how to make good decisions in a positive and caring manner. The more positive interactions they have in their first year of life will set them up for better behavior in the future.
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
