Handsome gentle blue nose Ricardo in Staten Island, New York

A volunteer writes: Two words sum up this handsome, light-brown brindle boy: love sponge. From the very moment I slipped a leash on him, Ricardo began nudging my free hand to give him some petting. In the elevator, he leaned against my thigh, and during our walk, he was thrilled to take a couple of breaks for more hugs and kisses. He's not a Dino Flintstone kind of dog that knocks you off your feet giving you affection. Gentle Ricardo has a much softer touch, and it's so sweet and endearing. If you're looking for some extra warmth this January, consider bringing this very good doggie home--he's friendly, well-mannered, an excellent walker, and so deserving of a real home and people to love--into your life today.
