Ricky

Description

Meet Ricky Ricky is a 5-year-old, 8-pound Maltese with a big heart packed into a tiny body! This sweet little guy loves his people and is happiest when he can be close to his human. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who wants to be by your side, Ricky may be your perfect match. Ricky is an affectionate, lovable boy who is a pleasure to care for. Like many small dogs, he can get a little excited at times, but he is easy to calm down and responds well to gentle reassurance. He is also learning how to stay calm and comfortable around other dogs and will benefit from continued patience and positive guidance as he builds confidence. Ricky can occasionally be a little protective of his things, so his adopter should be mindful of his tendency to resource guard and continue working with him using positive, reward-based training. He also has occasional accidents in the house, although he seems to understand that the yard is the place to do his business and is making progress with his house manners. Most of all, Ricky is simply a very sweet, loving little guy who wants what most dogs want: to be loved, cared for, and close to his person. He has so much affection to give and would love to find someone who will appreciate his gentle, endearing personality while helping him continue to learn and grow. If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a huge capacity for love, Ricky would be thrilled to meet you! ❤️
