Ricky's Story

Not all puppies can say that they are true survivors; but Ricky can. Orphaned while only a few weeks old after the death of their Mama; Ricky and his siblings learned early on that life isn't always easy. <br/><br/>Ricky doesn't want much from life; just a family of his own, and maybe a warm bed tolay in at night. Not too much to want right?<br/><br/>Ricky is a guy of few words; he'd rather use his energy following around his foster family and learning all things ouppy. Ricky is working hard on potty training, basic commands, and socialization with humans young and old (he especially loves kids!)<br/><br/>If you want to add Ricky to your pack please fill out an application at causeforpaws.net

Cause For Paws's Adoption Policy
In order to encourage folks to rescue homeless Orphans, we try to make the rescue experience as non-invasive and pleasant as possible. First, an application is completed prior to meeting any of our orphans. Since we do not have a shelter, it’s important to be able to pre-qualify folks that will be making appointments with fosters, to meet any of our orphans. We do a vet check, to verify all current or previous dogs are up to date on vaccines, heartworm testing, heartworm prevention, and are either spayed or neutered. We may also contact references listed on the application when there is no previous vet information, or where more information is needed. We’ll then contact you to arrange a home visit, which is merely an opportunity to ask and answer any questions regarding our process. Since most of our orphans have already been in a situation that was not right for them, we want to do whatever it takes to allow them to succeed. It is not our intent to set a dog or a family up for failure.
