Tricky is a 3-year-old, 75-pound mixed-breed boy who is a big, soft-hearted dog longing for peace, affection, and a place to call his own. Originally from the streets of Fresno, he has spent the last year and a half discovering the joys of a safe indoor home. Despite a challenging beginning, Tricky has blossomed into a loving and cuddly companion who cherishes closeness with his person. He enjoys lounging around the house, especially on the bed, and has a charming habit of flopping dramatically when he plays, showcasing his delight in every moment. Tricky knows basic commands like "sit" and "shake" and is eager to please his people. He is affectionate with everyone he meets, including strangers, though he may offer a brief bark upon their arrival. Tricky has shown great affection for cats and has coexisted wonderfully with them. While generally good with other dogs, he has recently displayed some jealousy, indicating he would thrive as an only dog or in a carefully selected home where he is the sole focus of attention.
Ideal Home
Tricky would thrive as an indoor dog with a person who desires a loyal companion. Ideally, his person will be home often and enjoy sharing their space, including their bed, with this big cuddle bug. He may also do well if adopted with his canine "dad," who is also seeking a home, but Tricky would be perfectly content being the cherished center of attention in his forever home.
Ongoing Health
Tricky is neutered and fully vaccinated as of June 2025. He is also house-trained and lives indoors, doing well when left alone for short periods.
