"Meet Ricky! This 4-year-old Pomeranian mix can be bashful at first, but with a little love and a few yummy treats this adorable pup simply curls up in your arms. Ricky would be a wonderful pet for a home with children who can keep him entertained. He's the perfect cuddle companion and an even better buddy for play time his tail never stops wagging when you're ready to throw his favorite ball."
