My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ricky, the charming canine searching for a forever home where he can quietly steal your heart. This introverted pup is a four-legged bundle of sweetness and shyness, with a soulful gaze that speaks volumes. Rescued from uncertain circumstances, Ricky is now ready to embark on a new chapter of his life with a patient and understanding family.

At first glance, you might find Ricky nestled in the corner, observing the world with curious eyes. His gentle demeanor and reserved nature make him an ideal companion for those who appreciate the subtle joys of companionship. While he may take some time to warm up, the love and loyalty he offers in return are immeasurable.

Ricky's ideal day involves leisurely strolls in a quiet park, where he can take in the sights and sounds at his own pace. He enjoys the simple pleasures, like a cozy spot by the window where he can watch the world go by. Ricky's heart is as vast as his love for napping, and he yearns for a home where he can find solace and comfort.

This introverted charmer is looking for a patient and compassionate family who will allow him to blossom at his own speed. With a bit of time and understanding, Ricky is sure to become a devoted companion, bringing a unique blend of calmness and affection to his forever home. If you're ready to open your heart to a furry friend who appreciates the quiet moments in life, Ricky may just be the perfect match for you.

History: Ricky's previous family wasn't familiar with dog behavior and had too many dogs in the home that didn't get along. Therefore, Ricky would prefer a home where he can be the only child so he can put those bad memories behind him. Could that be with you? Contact OHAR today to learn more about Ricky!

Adoption Process: After your application is approved, a home visit is schedule. We will bring the pet to you and help with introductions to your current pet(s). You will then have a week with the pet to ensure they are the right fit for your home. At the end of the week, you finalize the adoption and the pet is officially part of your family!

• Have proof of current address and picture identification (driver’s license preferred)

• Have the consent and knowledge of all adults living in the household to adopt a pet

• Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide for the training, medical treatment and recommended veterinary care for the pet

• Have the resources to make a nonrefundable donation

• Agree to consider the pet as a member of the family and provide indoor shelter

• Understand that these pets are rescued from the streets and we cannot guarantee the health of the pet. They have all been to a veterinarian for vaccinations and testing, and require spaying and neutering prior to adoption.

• Place personal ID on the animal as soon as possible. We microchip and register all rescued animals.

• Provide an environment for the animal that keeps it safe and secure

• Complete an application, allow a home visit and reference checks

Renters: If you rent or lease your home, we require a copy of the pet deposit receipt from the landlord or apartment complex prior to adoption.

• The adoption fees vary and are shown on each pet's bio on their cage. All adopted pets will come with medical records, vaccination records, be spayed or neutered and micro-chipped.

• We spend over $200 on each pet, which includes medical care, boarding and food. Your donation is not to pay for the medical care on the animal you are adopting; previous donations covered those costs. Your adoption fee allows us to continue our rescue and adoption efforts and is therefore is not refundable.
Adoption saves lives. Please consider a rescue pet before buying from a breeder or pet store. Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA. If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.
Under-age children: Oak Hill Animal Rescue, Inc. reserves the right to deny any application when the age of the children in the household is inappropriate to the age or size of the pet being adopted.
Unaltered dogs or cats existing in the household: Oak Hill Animal Rescue, Inc. requires all pets in the adopting household be spayed or neutered, or the application will be denied.

More about this rescue

Jim & Bettye Baker have been rescuing dogs and cats for many years and finally achieved 501(c)3 status. We bought 9 acres and built a building for this purpose and began a partnership with another local rescue that has storefront space donated to them in North Dallas. We pull dogs and cats from local city shelters after their adoption time has expired, get them vetted and chipped and offer them for adoption every weekend. PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE WWW.OHAR.ORG and see all our adoptable dogs and cats.
