Sharing this for one of my lovely clients who is currently fostering this handsome pup!
💙 DESPERATELY SEEKING: A MOM OR DAD FOR RICK 💙
Meet Rick — a 1-year-old pit bull sweetheart who is nothing but love wrapped in a big teddy bear body. He’s currently in a short-term foster home, and time is running out. Rick needs a forever home ASAP before he has to return to the shelter.
Rick is:
✨ Crate trained
✨ Eager to learn & easy to train (he’s discovering so many new things in his first real home!)
✨ Incredibly loyal and devoted to his human
✨ A gentle, respectful puppy who truly wants to make you proud
Rick has that joyful puppy excitement for life, but what makes him special is how hard he tries to manage it. He’ll pause, look to you for guidance, and you can almost hear him asking, “Am I doing this right?” 🥹
At heart, Rick is a tender, sensitive soul. His favorite thing in the world is curling up to sleep with his Lamb Chop and his stuffed animal with a beating heart — his little pseudo-parent while he waits for a real one of his own. 💔🐑
Dog compatibility:
🐾 Rick would do best as an only dog or with calm, passive dogs who can help balance his enthusiasm and keep things peaceful.
Rick is:
🧸 A big cuddle bug
🧠 Smart and learning fast
❤️ Deeply bonded to his person
🏡 Ready to give someone his entire heart
All Rick wants is a mom or dad, a home, and someone who will love him as much as he will love them — which is with everything he’s got.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign… this is Rick.
Please help us find his forever before he has to go back to the shelter.
📍 Short-term foster — needs a home NOW
