Adopt Ricardo a White - with Brown or Chocolate German Shepherd Dog / Mixed dog

Location:

Hoffman Estates, IL

Description:

Male - 4 years - 40 lbs - Microchipped - Neutered - NYHello! My name is Ricardo and I am a 4-year-old, 40 lb neutered male. I am already housetrained and crate-trained, though I do not need to be crated when left home alone. I will usually take a nap on the couch or play with my toys while you’re gone.Before coming to Echo Dogs, I was running with a feral colony and have therefore had a slow-going integration to the human world. I am extremely shy with people and will need a patient adopter willing to give me the time I need to warm up. I will accept affection from my foster mom though I don’t yet seek it. I would do best in a low traffic home with few visitors. Due to my anxieties, I cannot go to a home with children as they spook me.I absolutely thrive with other dogs and will require at least one confident canine companion in my home to help show me the ropes. I am gentle and playful with my canine friends and have even gently wrestled with little dogs. I have discovered the joy of toys and love to play with them! I don’t discriminate my favorites as I love stuffies, squeakies, antlers, benebones, or even simple food puzzles! I am amazing with cats and my feline foster sibling loves to rub against me or lay with me.Learning how to walk on a leash is a new concept to me, so I will require a securely fenced yard at my home. I am improving and join my foster mom to get the mail every day for practice! I have also been learning about car rides and, while I need help getting in, I will ride well. My recall has been coming along nicely at home. I am not yet ready to start working on other commands. I currently take daily Clomicalm medication to help me manage my anxieties and will need to continue for the foreseeable future. I am a sweet boy who is looking for a special, patient human willing to continue teaching me about the human world—could you be my family?Follow me on Facebook: #EchoDogRicardoFor more information, please contact XXXX@echodogs.org .Echo Dogs fosters dogs in many states.

All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped. Puppies under 6 months old may not be spayed/neutered.
