HI !! My name is Ricco Suave. ( do you hear the song in your head??)

I was born in July 2014, I am full grown at 11 pounds, I am trying to put on a little weight to fill out my frame. I am a long haired double dapple that was born deaf and I have a small vision impairment. Somewhere in my short life, I picked up a neurological issue that makes me a little wobbly and shaky, it does not affect my attitude, I keep up with the other dogs and humans just fine. The Dr.’s are working to help me be all I can be.

I am a VERY happy guy who loves anyone and everyone. I play well with dogs and children, I have not met any cats yet- I think I will like them too. I am working on my potty training as I was left outside for my life before DDRTX so no one taught me to go potty outside. I am learning hand signals from a special trainer for special dogs and I am learning very fast, my foster Mom says I am incredibly smart not to mention handsome ! I picked up sit, lie down and come the first day- if you have treats, I will do just about anything.

I need a special home that will understand that I am a bit different and love me for the sweet boy that I am. I promise to love you with all my heart in return. You will love me the second you meet me !! I will follow you wherever you go, lay at your feet in adoration and play with anything I can find. I love to be outside, I don’t bark very much since I cannot hear, I watch the others in my pack so I don’t get left out of anything. I am create trained but would much rather be at your side night and day. I have been told when I get a little older that I would be an excellent therapy dog given the training- I am that cool of a guy!
