Ricky

Description

Successfully rehomed by Gonsal Farm Animal Centre

Ricky came into our care because his needs were not being met after being left for 23 hours a day on his own. He is very typical of his breed, a friendly excitable lad who loves human contact and interaction. Ricky responds to basic commands and once settled he walks well on the lead. He is responding well to our positive training methods which would need to continue in his new home. Ricky will best suit someone that can give him lots of activity and mental stimulation which he requires. He can be left for 2-3 hours during the day, as long as he has had a good walk and is left with plenty of toys to keep him busy. An adult household is neccessary for Ricky, and an owner with experience would be ideal. Ricky is a lovely boy, who just wants to be a part of a loving family, after being left alone and uncared for for so long.
