Description:

Meet Ricky!

Ricky is a little guy who was down on his luck. He was picked up as a stray and is living at the local pound before we found him. He is a bit shy and tentative at first, but warms up quickly...especially if you offer him treats!

Ricky does not like to be picked up, however he will jump up on your lap if you are sitting down. So, he just wants to be a lap dog on his terms right now until he is comfortable. Because of this, we do not recommend he go to a home with small children that would want to carry him around. He is an independent little dog, but also loves getting attention.

AN UPDATE FROM HIS FOSTER HOME:

Ricky (AKA Sammy) is the most calm miniature pincher I've ever met. He is a little bit insecure, but he warms up pretty fast.

Ricky knows how to walk on a leash and he is very friendly with other people, kids, dogs and cats!

Ricky is so mellow and sweet he only wants to be with you. He is not a barker. He also understands a few basic commands. He is housetrained. He is amazing!! What a wonderful dog!

URGENT: Ricky needs a temporary foster home, while we work to find a forever home. We provide the food and cover all authorized medical expenses.

You simply provide a safe, loving home!

Why not take this opportunity to make a huge difference in the life of a sweet boy who needs some help?

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
