About Ricotta
Ricotta is a beautiful and sweet natured girl who’s number one priority in life is getting cuddles. She is a true lap dog who will take the any chance to jump into her owner’s lap when they sit down. Ricotta would take pats all day and if you stop patting her, she will let you know by gently touching you with her paw. She enjoys having the opportunity to sniff and explore around the yard or have a lie in the sun, but mostly she will be wherever you are. In the evenings, she will be right there snuggled up next to you on the couch, both because she loves you and because she feels the cold!
As you can tell, Ricotta is a very people orientated dog, but she is happy to share her home with another calm dog. If the temperament of the other dog is right, Ricotta is happy to snuggle up with them and be a nice companion. However, young and overly energetic dogs that get in her face are not going to be a match. Ricotta is not an overly energetic dog. She likes going for a daily walk but prefers just a 20minute walk where she gets to sniff and mark as she goes. As going for a walk still excites her, she can pull on a lead a bit and is better suited to a harness.
Ricotta doesn’t have a lot of obedience training, but she is well mannered in the house and toilet trained. She can confidently use a doggy door and sleeps throughout the night in her crate without a peep. Ricotta thoroughly enjoys accompanying her foster carers on car trips and is a good traveller. She is a bit shy when meeting new people but will warm up once she gets to know them. While in care she has been living with some dog savvy children and is tolerant of them. However, we are looking to place her in an adult only home as it better suits her needs and personality.
We are looking for a dog experienced home where Ricotta would be an integral part of her owner’s day to day life. She would ideally be suited to a mature home where someone is home most of the time to give her the love and attention she deserves. It is preferrable that she has a suitable doggy companion in her new home as we know she doesn’t suffer separation anxiety when another dog is present. In the absence of another dog, new owners need to be prepared to help her become accustomed to being left home alone for short periods of time as she has not been tested living without another dog. Ricotta is an inside dog who requires access to a yard of some size and a warm comfy bed to sleep on inside at night. She is a very sweet girl who deserves all the love that someone has to offer – there is no doubt that she will give a tonne of it in return! Sadly, she's not suited to living with cats or pocket pets.
If you would like to apply to adopt the beautiful Ricotta then please complete a Dog Adoption Enquiry form on the Fetching Dogs website as the next step.

Don't see a breed attached to one of our dogs? That's because we don't breed label dogs of unknown genetic history. We can't guess at breeds but that's okay, because we can tell you about the dog's individual personality, character, and behaviour.
