Ricky from Barrio Dogs!

Meadowlake starts the new year off with Ricky from Barrio Dogs Inc!  Ricky is the first dog of 2012 to be in the New Leash on Life Program which includes 30 days of free training and boarding.  Ricky is definitely living the life nowadays, but it wasn't always this simple.  He and his 2 sisters were found living on the streets about a year ago.  The three scared dogs were very much a pack, and had to fight to survive on the rough streets of Houston everyday.  Now Ricky is working on gaining his confidence back as well as basic manners and obedience with Meadowlake Trainer Tori Hankey, CPDT-KA.  He is still a little shy around new people, but once he trusts you, it's all kisses from there!  Ricky is about 2 years old and is a Labrador Mix and is looking for his perfect home!  For more information about Ricky, please contact Barrio Dogs, Inc at info@barriodogs.org.
