Ricky has come a long way, and we are proud of every step. He is a dog who knows what he likes, and what he likes best is the company of other dogs. Ricky does wonderfully with canine friends and is looking for a confident companion dog to show him the ropes and share his days. With people, he is still finding his way. Ricky is not a pup who asks for cuddles or fusses for attention, and he would rather you give him his space than reach in for affection he has not invited. That is simply who he is right now, and the right family will respect it and let trust build on his terms.
What Ricky truly loves is a good leash walk, and he comes alive with a purpose and a path ahead of him. He needs a securely fenced yard where he can move freely and feel safe, and a breed experienced family who understands a German Shepherd's mind and can read what he is telling them. Ricky is not looking to be the center of attention. He is looking for a steady, knowledgeable home that values him exactly as he is, a loyal canine friend at his side, and the quiet kind of bond that is earned rather than rushed. For the right person, that bond will be worth every bit of patience it takes.
