About this Dog
Ricky – The Tender-Hearted, Resilient Guy with a Lapdog Soul Don’t let his stoic face and scars fool you! Ricky is a gentle, 2-year-old Pittie boy with a heart full of love and a deep desire to connect. Affectionate & sweet: This lovable guy will trot right over to climb halfway into your lap, soaking up pets like he’s been waiting his whole life for them. Eager to please: Praises and treats are his love language. He responds to “sit,” takes treats with a gentle mouth, and calmly waits to be leashed. Easy walking buddy: Ricky has mostly lovely leash manners, enjoying a sniffy stroll but may sometimes pull when excited, especially around other dogs. Healing soul: Though he arrived with multiple injuries, his spirit is soft, trusting, and ready for healing in a home filled with kindness. Ricky is ideal in a home with well-matched dogs or as a cherished solo companion. If you’re looking for a resilient sweetheart who wants nothing more than to be close to his people, Ricky is ready to show you just how strong and soft love can be.

Adopt Ricky and Receive Ricky's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Ricky's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Ricky's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Ricky, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Ricky's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Ricky was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Ricky’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Ricky’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Ricky’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
