About Rickey Henderson

�s%BE Meet Rickey Henderson �s%BE 2 years old �'ۢ 65 lbs �'ۢ Rottweiler mix Don't let Rickey's serious face fool you-this boy doesn't have a mean bone in his body. Behind those soulful eyes is a goofy, gentle dog whose tail seems to have only one speed: wagging. Rickey is the perfect mix of playful and well-mannered. He knows basic commands, walks beautifully on a leash, is house trained, crate trained, and has quickly become a favorite everywhere he goes. Sadly, Rickey's story didn't start this way. He arrived at an overcrowded shelter as a stray and spent months watching other dogs leave while he stayed behind. Volunteers and staff loved him, but Rickey had two things working against him. As a black and brindle dog housed in one of the very last kennels on the final row, many visitors never even made it far enough to meet him. Those who did may have mistaken his serious expression for an intimidating personality. Eventually, Rickey ran out of time. When The Comeback Pack got the call, it wasn't because Rickey had finally found a family. It was because he was out of options. We were asked to step in as a last chance-to give this incredible dog the opportunity he never got at the shelter. When we met Rickey, he was a little reserved. After months of watching everyone else get chosen, why would he believe we were there for him? But we were. The moment Rickey walked into his foster home, his comeback began. His tail started wagging... and it hasn't stopped since. The serious expression melted away, revealing the sweetest, happiest, most affectionate boy you could hope to meet. He loves to snuggle, has wonderful house manners, and approaches life with a quiet, gentle confidence that makes everyone fall in love with him. Rickey has done wonderfully with kids, cats, and other dogs, making him an easy addition to almost any family. His name couldn't be more fitting. Named after baseball legend Rickey Henderson-the greatest leadoff hitter and stolen base king of all time-our Rickey has a talent of his own. He may not steal bases, but he steals hearts everywhere he goes. Rickey is a perfect ambassador for The Comeback Pack. He reminds us exactly why second chances matter. We said yes when he had nowhere else to go. Now we're looking for the family who will say yes to him forever. Rickey has made his comeback. Now he's ready to come home.
