Ricky's Story

Ricky<br/>Male<br/>DOB 7/1/21<br/>Approx 10 lbs<br/>Neutered<br/><br/>Meet Ricky – A Loyal Little Heart Ready to Learn What Love Means 🐾<br/>Ricky is a 4-year-old Maltese–Yorkie mix with a gentle soul and so much love waiting to bloom. He came into rescue from a hoarding situation, and while his early life didn’t give him the stability every dog deserves, Ricky is now discovering what it means to be part of a caring family.<br/><br/>In his foster home, Ricky is learning that he is safe and that the people around him will be there for him every day. His wonderful foster family is patiently showing him that visitors are kind, that gentle hands bring comfort, and that love can be a consistent and reliable part of life. Each day he grows a little braver.<br/>When Ricky feels secure with his people, his true personality shines through. He becomes an incredibly devoted and affectionate companion who forms deep bonds with those he trusts. Ricky loves being close to his family and takes his role very seriously.<br/><br/>Because Ricky is still adjusting to the world, he would do best in a mature home without small children. Quick movements and unexpected activity can still startle him, so a calm, low-traffic household will help him continue to build confidence and feel safe.<br/><br/>Ricky is doing well living with the other dogs in his foster home and is learning a lot from them. He enjoys running around the fenced yard and loves keeping an eye on the neighborhood. If another dog passes by, Ricky is happy to bark and let everyone know he’s on watch and doing his part to keep his family safe! He also takes cues well from the larger dogs in the home, which helps him feel more comfortable.<br/><br/>Ricky is currently working on potty training. Because he’s still learning and can get very excited, he may occasionally have accidents. With patience, routine, encouragement, and medication we hope he will continue to improve as he settles into a stable home environment. <br/><br/>Ricky is looking for a patient, loving family who will give him the time he needs to fully blossom. In return, you’ll gain a loyal little companion whose devotion will be truly special.<br/><br/>If you’re ready to help a deserving dog discover the joy of a safe and loving forever home, Ricky might just be the perfect addition to your family.<br/><br/>The Adoption Fee (Tax Deductible Donation) is $200.<br/><br/>If you are interested please fill out an application at www.nalarescue.org.<br/><br/>Please note a Vet Check and Home Inspection are part of the application process.<br/><br/>NALA Rescue is a home-based foster rescue and does not have a facility. If interested in meeting a dog, please apply at www.nalarescue.org.
