Ricky

Meet Ricky!

Ricky is one of 40 incredibly lucky pups that just arrived from one of our trusted shelter partners in California's Central Valley. We're so excited to welcome this sweet group to the Pacific Northwest as they begin their next chapter filled with safety, comfort, and love. 31 of the dogs in this new group are Chihuahuas, Chihuahua mixes, and other small-breed cuties that were saved from an unfortunate hoarding situation where there was a total of 67 dogs. We'll be sharing more updates, photos, and personality details as we get to know each of them better now that they're in our custody. In the meantime, our foster and adopter outreach has officially begun, and we're hoping that these little ones will find their homes and families quickly!

Foster Family Update 3/31/26:

Ricky loves life, likes to play fetch, likes to play with the small dogs at the dog park, likes to be close to you, he just loves life.

Will you be this pup's lucky new hero?
