Ricky's Story

Kymber is with our good friends at Black Dog Animal Rescue. To learn more about her, please visit their website at www.bdar.org or give them a call at 307.514.4024.<br/><br/>Meet Ricky! He graduated from our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and he is ready to show off his new skills! His new abilities include 'sit', 'wave', 'pray' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.<br/><br/>Ricky is a big boy with an even bigger heart. He absolutely loves people and truly aims to please. When playtime rolls around, he turns into a total goofball—especially when a Kong or ball is involved!<br/><br/>Ricky is still learning his leash manners, and while its a work in progress, he does well when using a Gentle Leader and continues to improve with consistent guidance. His fosters use a harness when walking him!<br/><br/>He has done very well with female dogs but hasn't always loved every male dog he's met. While during his time at PACK, he has learned to play with most of the other dogs - male and female. Ricky will need to meet any potential new siblings prior to adoption. He cannot live in a home with cats and will not be a good fit for a home where he has access to livestock.<br/><br/>Ricky spent quite some time at another shelter in Wyoming, and were really hoping his forever family finds him soon. He is such a deserving dog and will make a loyal, loving companion for the right home.<br/><br/>Apply to meet Ricky today!

Bounce Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
Thank you for your adoption inquiry! The first step to adoption is completing an adoption application on our website at www.bounceanimalrescue.org/adopt. Pending approval, your application is valid for 1 year, and you will be eligible to request a hold on an individual animal for the Saturday adoption event. The hold does not require that you take the animal home, but ensures you get to meet and make an adoption decision prior to other applicants. Also pending approval, you will be able to acquire foster home contact information, so you inquire on personalities of specific animals. We do offer midweek private adoption appointments for approved applicants pending staff, foster home, and vetting schedules. Because we are 100% foster-based, private adoption appointments are only offered for individual animals. (If interested in viewing multiple animals at one time, we encourage you to attend our adoption events!) Please note, we do not have the ability to process adoption applications at our adoption events, so please plan accordingly. If an application is submitted past 5pm on Monday-Thursday, it will begin review the following day. If submitted on Friday-Sunday, it will begin review on Monday. It takes approximately 1-2 business days for an application to be processed. Our animals’ adoption fees can be found on their individualized adoption listings found on our website (www.bounceanimalrescue.org). Our adoption fees includes up-to-date vaccinations, spay/neuter, 4DX testing (for dogs 6+ months), FeLV/FIV testing (for cats), and microchip! Since we are a non-profit organization, these fees are tax-deductible. Our weekly adoption events take place every Saturday from 10am-Noon at Pet Supplies Plus (Front Range Village, 2912 Council Tree Ave #100, Fort Collins, 80525). The holds for our events expire at 10:30am. Our rescue includes a one week trial period with the adoption of all of our animals. This allows you to take the animal home to ensure it is the perfect fit for you, your family, and lifestyle. If it does not work out, we accept the animal back into rescue and refund half the adoption fee. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!
