This week's adoptable pet (he'll be featured on SFist all week long on the right side of the site, below the ads) comes to us from Grateful Dogs Rescue. Now, say it with us: "Oh Ricky you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind!"

Ricky is a two-year-old neutered male Lhasa Apso mix who weighs 17 pounds. This lively fellow has just been neutered and is making appropriate adjustments! He was neglected and his fur was matted, so he now has a cute summer crew-cut. He will be adorable when his new fur comes in! Ricky is living with other dogs and has made some good friends to play with. He is bright, and taught himself to use the doggie door, but his housetraining will need to continue in his new home. He is typical for the breed and alerts to people and dogs outside! He loves to eat and treats should make training easy.
