Hello I’m Rikki!

Described as mellow and shy, 5-month-old Rikki’s personality is still in bloom. Along with her brother Ricardo, Rikki came to us at one month old, making our shelter the most stable environment she’s known. While still warming up to people, Rikki would love a home where she can learn, grow, and come into her own.

“Hercules is doing great! He has settled in and thriving. We couldn’t be happier with our newest family member. He is no longer fearful or shy and his playful personality is shining through. He acts like a puppy and keeps us laughing with his antics. We adore him!”

“We have named her Peppa… like Peppa Pig since she snorts like a pig lol. We are loving her, she fits right in. We are still working on potty training and her skin issue has cleared up, but other than that, our family is loving our new addition!”
