Story
Meet Ricky! Give this pup a chance to get over his shyness and you`re going to meet an affectionate and playful pup. Ricky is a good leash walker and follows instructions. He will sit for treats and accept them gently when you find one he likes; he can be a bit picky. Ricky loves to play! He especially likes rope toys and playing tug-of-war with his people. Ricky is a cuddler who likes to be near his people for pets and kisses. He has been going out for Snout & About adventures and his chaperones report that he is house-trained, does great in public places and the car, and was even described as romantic! He would be a great addition to any family. Come in and meet Ricky today!
