Pet Of The Week – Ricky

Are you looking for a furry friend that is not only a great family dog but also an enthusiastic outdoorsman’s companion?  If so, you definitely need to meet Ricky! Ricky is a 5 ½-year-old (he was born on October 27, 2017) Purebred, AKC-Registered Beagle. Before coming to Green Hills Animal Shelter, Ricky had a home where he was very loved, but sometimes life throws us curves, and when Ricky’s owner became unable to provide him with the exercise he needed, they brought him to the shelter in hopes that he could find a family who could meet his energy needs while filling his life with love.

If we had to describe Ricky in one word, that word would be “happy”. He is a wiggly, friendly, affectionate pup who loves being with people. He loves adults and children and is always happy to go on a car ride with his family – in fact, car rides are one of his favorite activities! Ricky gets along well with other dogs. In addition to being an amazing family companion, Ricky is also a trained rabbit-hunting dog who loves going out into the field and woods with his person.

If Ricky could describe his perfect Forever Home, he would ask to be adopted by an active family who would spend lots of time engaging in play and outdoor activities with him, after which he would love to curl up on the couch with his person and dream about the great adventures they’ve had. Ricky desires a family who will make him a part of everything they do, and in return, he promises to fill their lives with the wonder and joy with which he approaches life.

Ricky will go to his Forever Home neutered, dewormed, heartworm tested, and up to date on all vaccinations including rabies.  He is a special pup who will make an amazing companion for one lucky family; could that family be yours?

For more information on Ricky, or any of the pets waiting for their homes at Green Hills Animal Shelter, please phone the shelter at 660-359-2700 or stop by during open business hours.  We’d love to introduce you to Ricky and his fur friends!
