About Ricky
Ricky will need:
* A quiet calm home environment with no children
* No cats, pocket pets or other animals (he may tolerate another dog of similar size)
* Daily walks
* A reasonably large yard with grass areas for digging and an undercover area for
shelter. (No apartment living or small yards)
* Fences and gates will need to be at least 6 foot high, secure and dig-proof
* Ricky needs space inside to relax when people are at home.
While that satisfies Ricky’s desires, we have a few requirements for him too. Ricky has had very limited exposure to the world up until the past few months, so he is still learning how to be a pet. Loud noises or voices can be terrifying to him.
Children can be a bit too stimulating and Small dogs, cats, pocket pets and livestock are way too exciting for Ricky.
Ricky is gaining confidence everyday, but he needs a family that is prepared to accept him and love him as a dog that may never willingly seek out a pat or cuddle and be okay with that. A family that understands that it will take him a long time to feel comfortable and settle into the household routine.
Because of Ricky’s sensitive nature, we are looking for a home with no children, a quite lifestyle, secure fencing and no pocket pets. He may be okay living with another dog his size or above, but there is every chance he would just live alongside it and not be besties.
He is not available for interstate adoption.
If you can offer Ricky a home to thrive in, apply today!

Each application we receive is considered by our Committee, and we seek to find only the best suited homes, no matter how long that may take.
