About Ricky
Meet Ricky, a timid, sweet soul who is eagerly waiting for his special someone. This small dog has an enormous heart, and he's ready to share his affection with a caring, patient family. Ricky's timid nature only makes his friendship that much more rewarding when he opens up and gives you his trust.
Even though Ricky may be reserved at first, given a little time to settle, he comes alive to reveal an endearingly sweet personality that can melt anyone's heart. He is a dog who takes time to trust but bonds quickly and loyally once he does. Ricky would flourish as an only pet, or with a small, calm, older dog, as his reserved nature makes him avoid crowded and chaotic scenarios.
Ricky is also a clever pup who's highly food motivated, which will be an excellent tool for bonding and training. Even though he may seem shy at first, don't let that fool you. Ricky just needs to feel safe and loved, and his true personality will shine through. Given his breed, a prospective family with Dachshund experience would be ideal to understand and cater to Ricky's specific needs better.
Ricky is also most comfortable with older teens and adults, and he prefers a quiet, primarily indoor environment where he can feel secure. Ricky relishes a calm household where he can relax by your side, enjoy tasty treats, and, most importantly, provide his incredible, loyal companionship.
Medical notes
