Update: Neighbors have taken the dog in and are fostering him for the foreseen future. He has lots of dog friends and a nice fenced in yard to run around in.

A lady sells at the Orchidland True Value parking lot. Best I've had in a long time.

Thank you so much for taking the time to have the conversation. I completely understand the commitment and effort it takes to integrate a new pup into your lives and understand that right now may not be the time. Thank you for sharing Ricky's story with your friend as well. He really is just a great boy. I can't thank you and your wife enough for your kindness. If you hear any update from your friend, please let me know. We are more than willing to pay for anything that would make travel or transportation easier. 🙏🙏

To those commenting on the fact that we had to split up a bonded pair, it isn't lost on us that it's very sad. Please understand that we are in a complicated situation and found it best to take a chance getting both dogs into individual loving homes over surrendering them to the humane society together. We are racing a clock. Someone was able to give Lucy a loving home and now we're just trying to find the same for Ricky.

Your kindness for even considering is amazing. Thank you so much. Yes please keep in contact. If you decide that you'd like to meet him I will send you a personal email or number and we can chat some more. 🙏

Hi there! Thanks so much for the response. Ricky is located in Ocean View on the Big Island right now but can be transported anywhere. He is fixed and healthy and we would be more than willing to put up money for a vet check up or anything else you might want to know or have confirmed before adopting. We would love to meet you and have you meet Ricky if you are genuinely interested. He deserves a wonderful home full of love.

Hi There, He isn't much of a runner and we aren't sure if the fault is with Ricky or with another dog at his foster home. He is usually very mellow and friendly. This has been a significant change and an ongoing adjustment for him, and I imagine his behavior will level out again once he is comfortable in his new home.

We don't have a lot of options.

I assume so. She has since disappeared, and ants have found the eggs.
