My story

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

Meet Ricky, a 5 year old Chihuahua, Short Coat mix. Ricky, a spirited canine with a heart full of love. His shy demeanor may fool you, but once he warms up, his energy knows no bounds. Ricky is independent, preferring to explore his surroundings at his own pace. His curious nature leads him to sniff out every nook and cranny, making each day an adventure. Ricky`s energy is infectious, spreading joy to everyone around him. Despite his shyness, he`s always up for a good play session. Ricky is more than just a shelter pet, he`s a loyal companion waiting for a loving home. His spirited personality and zest for life make him the perfect addition to any family looking for a unique, energetic friend. Adopt Ricky and experience the boundless love and energy he has to offer.

Ricky will need an indoor home and a secure containment area to stay safe from wandering and escaping. Positive reinforcement, fear-free training will be needed. Daily exercise and mental enrichment will be very important. If you have other dogs in your home, we would be happy to arrange a meet and greet with your dog(s) to make sure everyone gets along. We don’t know how he will do with cats.

Ricky is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, spayed, and ready to go home today.

More about this shelter

West Valley Humane Society is an open-admission animal shelter in Southern Idaho. Serving all of Canyon County, and surrounding areas. We take in the stray, surrendered, abandoned, neglected animals in our community. In 2017, we took in 7,778 animals. We believe that every animal deserves a second chance.

We contract with the cities of Nampa, Caldwell and Canyon County to house stray and owner surrender animals that their ACO's, or the general public, bring to us.
