RICKY Australian Shepherd Mix Newport, OR

Ricky is a 52 pound, approximately 1 year old, neutered male, Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix type dog.

Ricky, Ricky, RICKY!!! Boy oh boy is this dog a SUPERSTAR! Ricky is an incredibly smart, energetic, enthusiastic, talkative, sweet, loving young boy. Ricky has all of the qualities of a herding type dog, and if you don't know what we mean by that, he might not be the right fit for you. Ricky came to us as a stray, so we don't know anything about his background but we suspect his previous owners were not prepared for how much activity (physical AND mental) Ricky needs every day to be the best he can be. Ricky still needs a lot of work on his manners, but he is very eager to please. He has earned gold stars for being an exceptionally good running partner, and we think he could do well in a home with a canine playmate. That being said, Ricky would need to meet any other dogs in the household before going home. If you love a smart, active, go getter of a dog, Ricky may be the perfect pal for you.
