Foster Home Feedback 9/24/25 Volunteer Feedback: I took Rick Astley on a kennel break for a few hours today, and we sure had a blast! Went on a 3 mile hike at the Buffalo River State Park and Rick loved to sniff everything. During breaks he just sat by my feet and relaxed. He seemed very intrigued and excited to play in the water. Rick also did great in the car, just laid down and enjoyed the ride! 9/22/25 Volunteer Feedback: I brought Rick Astley to the 2nd annual Run 4 Luv 5K at the Hen House bar... and I couldn't have picked a more perfect friend to join me at this event. He was so happy to meet every dog and person at this event! Rick Astley never bowled over little dogs, never shied away from big dogs, just had a very "Hi! Play with me?" energy. One of our volunteers asked to run with Rick for the whole 5k (since I am no runner, I was happy to let him join them). Rick had just as much energy after that run as before. He's the kind of dog that has enthusiasm for everything, especially if treats are involved. 9/18/25 Volunteer Feedback: Rick Astley and I spent our time today in my backyard. We played fetch for a while, and he did well with bringing it back and releasing when asked. But his favorite thing was to look for treats in the grass. He made the cutest little grunting noises when he was sniffing them out. Rick Astley is still a little mouthy, so we worked on redirecting which went fairly well. I think if given the opportunity he would be a lap dog. When I was sitting on the grass with him, he would come over and lean on me to make sure he was getting all the pets he could possibly get. He loved getting his face rubbed. 9/2/25 Vounteer Feedback: Rick Astley is a very handsome gentleman with a love for life and a heart full of curiosity. Rick brings joyful energy to every moment. This lively companion isn’t only interested in having fun, he’s also eager to learn and loves showing off his smarts, especially when treats are involved! Rick would thrive in a home that embraces his playful spirit and supports his love of learning. 8/29/25 Volunteer Feedback: I had the pleasure of spending time with Mr. Rick Astley tonight, and he was an absolute delight! To help channel his energy, we worked on a fun enrichment activity: sniffing out treats hidden in the grass. Rick Astley put that amazing nose to work and was fully engaged! Afterwards, I gave him some quiet one-on-one time in the office area to let him decompress and explore at his own pace. Rick was incredibly thorough—he found every last molecule of anything resembling a treat. I’m pretty sure the floor has never been cleaner thanks to his detective-level sniffing skills!
