Ricky had health & behavioral issues and as such was returned to the shelter repeatedly where the rescue, Animals Rule, in Southern California rescued him from death row.
We had lost our dog Roamy to cancer 4 months earlier & our hearts along with that of our golden retriever Lucy had been saddened due to the loss.
I had seen Ricky on Pet Finders week after week and my husband agreed it was time to find a companion for Lucy as well as our family.
We went to the rescue after they approved our adoption submission & checked us out.
Upon arrival, he was thin, poor coat & had a spine issue but Lots of personality & we knew immediately he was ours.
We brought him home 14 years ago & he is now almost 17. With love, good nutrition, a great vet & trainer, he realized his full potential within months.
Not sure who rescued who as he’s seen us through loss of loved ones, breast cancer and other challenges, but we’re all going strong with love.
