About Ricci
Meet Ricci, a gentle and loving soul looking for a patient and understanding new family. Although initially timid due to the life he had before coming into care, Ricci's heart is full of love, and he's ready to share it with a family who can offer him the warmth and security he deserves.
Ricci has a special affinity for children and gets along splendidly with other dogs, making him an ideal addition to a family with little ones or existing pets. His sociable nature shines through despite his initial shyness, and with a bit of time and patience, his true, delightful personality emerges.
Ricci is crate-trained and loves spending time in his safe space, but he equally enjoys being outdoors for walks and playtime. As much as he loves his exercise, he would be just as content snuggled up beside you for a cozy nap. His love for food makes training a fun and rewarding experience for him and his humans.
Every day holds the promise of new joys and experiences for Ricci, whether it's a leisurely walk in the park, a hearty meal, or snuggling up with those who mean the most to him. Providing Ricci with the loving home where he can blossom into the confident companion he's meant to be will be a most meaningful experience.
If you're looking for a gentle, food-loving pup who will quickly become a beloved member of your family, Ricci might just be the perfect fit.
Ricci is doing well with his toilet training, however continued reinforcing is required.

Adoption details
If you are short listed, you will be contacted within 7-10 working days.
No correspondence will be entered into otherwise. Phone interview will be conducted to assess the suitability of the animal for your tamily. The needs of each individual dog is our priority and we will only proceed if we feel you are a match.
Meet and Greet and fence checks with the dog are arranged at a convenient time for both the foster carer and potential adopter, including introductions to existing animals and all members of the potential home. If there are no issues, the animal is potentially able to stay at the home from this time for a 14 day trial period to ensure the match is compatible. Adoption form is filled in and adoption fee paid (refundable within the trial period). All relevant certificates are provided after the 14 day trial period.
