🎄 Help Ricky Get Home for the Holidays! 🎄
Ricky is a 2-year-old Boerboel (South African Mastiff) with a heart as big as his 120-lb frame. This handsome boy could use a little extra weight — which just means more of him to love — and he’s hoping this holiday season brings him what he wants most: a forever family to come home to.
He’s a true gentle giant with a goofy, affectionate personality that will instantly steal your heart. Imagine this big guy curled up nearby while you celebrate the holidays — Ricky is ready to be someone’s best gift this year. ❤️
💙 The Basics
• Kids: Best with children 10+ who are comfortable around large, bouncy dogs. He was raised with kids and does great, but his size can be a bit much for little ones.
• Dogs: Does well with female dogs and likely fine with other large males when introduced properly.
• Cats: Not a fan — he’ll need a cat-free home.
⚡ Personality
Ricky is affectionate, silly, and full of life. He loves to play, lives for cuddles, and has no concept of personal space — he will absolutely try to be a lap dog. He retrieves like a Golden, thrives with structure, and learns quickly with just a touch of lovable stubbornness. Loyal, social, goofy, and protective — the perfect mix for big-dog lovers.
🎓 Training & Vetting
• Housebroken
• Leash trained
• Knows basic obedience
• Fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative
✨ Extras
Ricky is currently being fostered on Cape Cod, MA and is ready to head home for the holidays! We welcome local and out-of-state adopters, but all adopters must come in person — we do not ship dogs.
If you’ve been wishing for a big, loving companion to make your holidays warmer, louder, and full of laughter, Ricky would love nothing more than to spend them with you. Let’s get this boy home where he belongs. 🎁❤️
