Ricky is proof that shy dogs can have the biggest hearts.
Ricky came from a heartbreaking hoarding situation where he lived with more than 20 other dogs inside a camper. Despite his rough start, he hasn't let the past steal his joy. Instead, he's embracing every new experience and discovering just how good life can be. This gentle young pup may be a little shy when meeting new people, but every day he becomes a little braver. He's naturally curious and wants to trust—you can almost watch him building confidence one interaction at a time. His biggest source of confidence, though, is other dogs. Ricky absolutely adores them. Whether he's meeting new canine friends on walks or racing around the yard with his foster sibling, he lights up when another dog invites him to play. His favorite game is a good chase session, and he recently discovered stuffed toys, which have quickly earned a place on his favorites list. Ricky has been an absolute star in foster care. He's had zero accidents so far, figured out the dog door after watching the resident dog use it just once, and now confidently lets himself outside whenever he needs to go. His foster describes him as "wicked smart," and it's easy to see why.
