Ricki (D2543)

Kelpie X Staffy.

Ricki is a very sweet girl who is responding well to training in her foster home. She knows her basic commands (Sit, Come), and waits for her food until you give the OK. She is progressing well with her on-the-lead training and is learning that she needs to sit if she wants a pat or a belly rub (her favourite thing).

Ricki is also taking swimming lessons because she is not sure how to kick her back legs under water but with her new life jacket she is jumping in the water on her own and loving it! She loves to play with her foster brother (Kelpie) and has socialised with many of his doggy friends.

She would be best suited to a home with another dog for company or a home where someone is home often because we think she would be too lonely on her own. She doesn't mind being outside but when the Pilbara heat hits, she loves sleeping on her bean bag in the air-conditioned house. This little sweetheart loves her daily run at the park or beach and her loving, placid nature makes her a favourite of her foster parents.

Ricki's devoted carer is an example of the care and compassion of foster carers to ensure a great well rounded dog. I am sure Ricki will find a fabulous new home soon where she can continue on in her new found aquatic skills!
