Ricky's Story

*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***<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 it's 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 we're 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!

Black Dog Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
BDAR considers pet adoption to be a privilege and that good pet owners can demonstrate a history of responsible practices. Our basic requirements are as follows: Adopters must be at least 18 years of age Adopters’ current pets must be current on their rabies vaccination per local ordinances Adopters must be able to provide a current veterinary reference if they own other pets or have recently owned pets If the adopter rents, they must be able to provide a landlord reference stating that pets are allowed on the property Adopter cannot intend for the animal to be kept as an outdoor only pet, or for the primary mode of containment to be tethering Adopters must be a good match for the animal in question as determined by our adoption counselors Our adoption fees includes spay or neuter, current age appropriate vaccinations, microchip with lifetime registration, a free first vet exam, and 30 free days of pet health insurance. A note about our adoption fees: BDAR utilizes a variable pricing structure for all of its adoptable animals. Adoption fees are determined based on an animal's perceived desirability, age, training or medical investment, and the length of time they have been available for adoption. Some animals are priced higher than others. These animals' adoption fees provide a legacy gift for others in the program who may need additional resources in order to get the same chance in a forever home.
