Are you looking for the perfect gentleman? Meet Ricky! This handsome 7 year old, 70 pound guy is ready to be your next best friend. He is house trained, good on the leash, and great with dogs, cats and kids! He is trusted to free roam the house when left alone and generally takes a nap. He enjoys playing with toys, chewing on bones, playing fetch or chasing a frisbee. He is low energy but will match your energy; whether it’s napping on the couch all day or going on a fun adventure, he’s happy to do anything. He is food motivated, knows sit and down. We are working on shake and drop it. He doesn’t bark much (including the doorbell!), does not require a fence and will be fine as an only dog or with others. He happily jumps in the car but he does get nervous and will get car sick sometimes. We’ve been going on short drives and he is doing better, so I believe it will go away with time. He can be a little reserved at first when meeting new people, but quickly turns into an absolute sweetheart and your best friend when you throw him a toy! Interested in making Ricky a part of your family? Reach out to your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org. Ricky is being fostered outside of Charlotte.
