Ricky’s story:
Name: Ricky Gender: Male Age: 25-01-2021 Breed: German shepherd Size: Large Stay: Cyprus My name is Ricky. That’s what they call my now at the Hope for Homeless shelter. I am only 3 years old and already abandoned by everyone. Why do people adopt us only to abandon us later or throw us away like old trash, when we are no longer wanted…. If you people knew how much it saddens us, that we also have feelings and that leaving hurts so much. I don’t know why they left me there, without water, food, in the middle of an abandoned piece of land. If they did this to you, how would you feel? I was lucky in an accident. A woman with a young man came there to feed another stray dog. They searched the buckets of water and food and saw that they had been moved toward the bushes. How could they know I had done it. I had brought the bucket to eat safely among the bushes of thorns and dirt. There I was safe, no one could see me and hurt me further. The young man called me and without any hesitation I fell into his arms. Now I am safe in the shelter. I have food and water and no longer have to drag the bucket. I’m not afraid anymore. But I would want a family to love me too. A family that NEVER throws me away. Am I asking for too much?
