Description:
ricxkyRicky joined LDDR in February 2011! UPDATE 4/28/11
Ricky is a male neutered Beagle weighing in at 20 lbs. The Beagle is a pack animal that likes being around other dogs and not away from there owner, so Ricky is house, crate, and leash trained but he would rather be at your side than in a crate all day. This particular Beagle just passed a basic obedience class as of April 27th 2011, he now knows sit, heal, stay, down, down stay, and lastly, recall. Ricky is more than ready to be adopted into your loving home today as a young and loving dependable family member that will snuggle with you on the couch and honor you and your family for the duration of his life. He is good with other dogs/cats and loves playing in the back yard with toys, rolling in the grass, or just stretching his back out for fun. At bed time Ricky likes to curl up and sleep right next to his human companion. I highly recommend this dog for anyone who is looking for a small dog that is very loving and friendly. Like people, Beagles love food and generally any type will do as these small energetic dogs burn up a lot of calories. It is very important that a Beagle be kept to a strict regiment of no more than 1/2 a cup in the morning and 1/2 a cup at night! If you over feed a Beagle they will eat what you put in front of them and everything else until they get sick or slowly develop health problems due to there obesity . Their diet and nutrition must be carefully considered as part of continuing care from the time you first adopt and through the aging process for the senior years. If you can follow these simple eating habits for providing a healthy life style for your pet they will live longer than most dogs do!
2/15/2011: Ricky the Beagle is about as friendly as they come and he has recently been neutered on 02-02-2011. This Beagle in particular likes other dogs so when left alone he will do the beagle bark from his crate but no howling yet. Beagle likes running in the back yard and he is very quick/sneaky/active on his feet, being only 18 lbs he also does not eat much. When walking beagle he will tend to walk behind you with his nose to the ground so I shuffle my feet so not to step on him. Obedience classes would be highly recommended for Beagle along with a chain link or type of fence he could not squeeze through. As far as dogs go he is fairly low maintenance if trained properly and given good/proper guidance. 2/1/2011: Ricky is a smaller size beagle about 18 pounds and short. He is very very cute and wants you to be his next best friend. Ricky is a great little dog and is fine with other dogs and cats and is housebroken. Beagles make wonderful family pets. Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed. The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label. Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first.
