Ricey

SEEKING: A Forever Home With Excellent Snacks and a Comfortable Sofa

Hello, potential admirers. My name is Ricey. I’m 4 years old, ridiculously handsome, and currently accepting applications for the position of My Person.

A little about me: I’m a calm, gentle, well-mannered gentleman with a friendly side that comes out once I’ve decided you’re worth knowing. I don’t like to rush these things. A fellow has standards.

I’ve already had some experience living inside a home, so I’m not completely new to the finer things in life. Roofs? Lovely. Soft beds? Excellent. Air conditioning? Frankly, one of humanity’s greatest achievements.

I’ve also met dogs of various shapes and sizes. My approach is generally, “Hello, nice to meet you, let me just conduct a thorough nose-based background check.” I may sniff a little longer than necessary, but I’m polite about it. No chasing, no drama, no unnecessary theatrics.

Once I’m off lead, I’m pretty independent. Other dogs can run around doing whatever nonsense they like. I have Ricey business to attend to.

I could potentially live with another suitable dog—small, medium or large—or I could happily be your one and only. I’m flexible like that. Just don’t expect me to share top billing.

I may also be a good match for a family with children age 5 and older. A house would be my preferred arrangement, mostly because I need adequate space for my future career as a professional sofa ornament.

I do have a few old scars. I prefer to think of them as evidence that I’ve lived an interesting life. They add character. George Clooney has laugh lines. I have scars. Same idea.

As for cats? My official position is currently under review. The humans say I should be cat-tested before issuing a formal statement.

So, what am I looking for?

Someone kind. Someone patient. Someone with a comfy home, a good sense of humor, and reasonable access to treats.

In return, you’ll receive one handsome, gentle, sensible greyhound who plans to spend retirement mastering the important things in life: naps, snacks, walks, and staring at you until you give me whatever I want.

Interested? Excellent.

Please submit your application promptly.

Competition may be fierce.

Yours handsomely,
Ricey

4 years old. Gentleman. Snack enthusiast. Professional sniffer. Future sofa hog.
