Chocolate Labrador Retriever - Ricky - Large - Adult - Male
**PLEASE GO TO OUR HOME PAGE TO FILL OUT THE ONLINE APPLICATION! I can email one also if requested. Home page: Ricky was a stray in SE Iowa and ended up unclaimed at their shelter so he is now a Waverly Pet Rescue dog. He is now up to date on shots, tested heartworm negative, started on heartworm preventative, dewormed, and neutered. He is living in a foster home. Ricky is an adult male Chocolate Lab mix, prob 2 or 3 years old. He is very friendly and seems to like everybody and everything. He is looking for a home that will love him, exercise him, feed him treats - you know, all those things a good dog deserves! 2/14/13 UPDATE: Such a sweet sweet dog. Ricky has not been taught anything. I will start his training immediately. Doesn't look like he has been house trained and he has absolutely no manners. I think he has been around cats before as he has ignored all of the ones he has met here so far. He is a jumper and I have spent most of the day teaching him not to jump on people. I don't know if you have seen him, but he is extremely skinny. He will definitely need to be fattened up a bit. Despite all this he is a very happy dog. Very loving and affectionate, and loves people. I don't think anyone has ever played with him, I tried to introduce a tennis ball and threw it and he looked at me like what am I suppose to do with that. Well that is our first day so far. 2/15/13 UPDATE: Day two with Ricky is starting off great. We actually made it outside before the guy lifted up his leg. No walls got watered today. "So far" I have decided to do a duel reward system. I have chosen both food reward and praise, since he is starved for both. I spent about a half hour with just him last night trying to teach him how to play. Stuffed animal was a complete failure at this time, however, red laser light was a huge success. He loves it. Made the mistake of bringing out the girl scout cookies and almost got mugged by two dogs. Had to hurry and hide them in the refrigerator again. He has decided he don't really want to share the raw hide bones. He will wait until Sabrina leaves her unattended and then takes hers, leaving his unattended. Sabrina being as laid back as she is, just goes over to the unattended on and takes that one. He looks over and seems to say how did that just happen? It's kind of funny to watch. 11/5/13 UPDATE: Ricky has a strong prey drive so cannot be around any type of bird or chicken or anything with feathers. Would be best in a home with no cats as well. No farms for him because he would want to hunt your cats. He is selective on which dogs he likes, so if you have a dog would be best if he meets your dog before you take him home. He is a great dog and needs just that right home. Will someone please adopt Ricky and give him a forever home? $75.00 adoption fee. Waverly Pet Rescue is a licensed, non-profit 501c3 rescue/shelter.
