lexi bonded to ricky

Meet Lexi and Ricky, our bonded pair!Lexi and Ricky were owner surrenders to no fault of their own. They have been depending on each other for a long time, so they will need to be adopted as a pair Lexi is a silky-haired terrier mix, with a bit more of a friendly nature, while Ricky is a Maltese mix that is a little more shy and cautious when meeting new people. Lexi and Ricky are starting to learn that making friends doesn`t have to be hard, but Ricky may let out a growl at first when being introduced to someone new. With patience and gentle handling, both will slowly start to grow more confidence and be more playful.Lexi and Ricky have not had the opportunity to meet with another dog since being at the rescue, so they would love to have slow, proper introductions to other dogs to make sure that they will be a good match. As for cats, we are unaware of their reactions to them. Given that Ricky is still needing some time to warm up to new people, a home with older children or no children may be best for them. They would love to find a home that would be ready to continue working on consistent routines with them, as they are not yet potty trained and currently rely on potty pads. They are currently working on being leashed to go outside to potty, but it is still a work in progress. Because they are still learning, they would love to have a home with a fenced yard where they can explore safely, but it is not required at this time. Lexi and Ricky can be quite vocal, so shared walls would not be the best fit for them.If you are looking for a pair of furry friends that need someone to trust and work at their pace, please fill out an adoption application on our website.
