LifeLine's DeKalb County Animal Services Pets of the Week: Ricky and Layla

By KAREN HIRSCH (Star Patcher)

That face! Those floppy ears! That adorably sweet smile! Our first Pet of the Week, Ricky, is hard to resist! Ricky is about four year’s old and is the perfect combination of personality traits: calm, laid back and loving. He is also smart, and already knows many tricks, including sit, shake, lay down and possibly more! Ricky gets along great with other dogs too, so come meet him today.

Our next Pet of the Week is a beautiful, wiggly and happy girl who loves to do happy dances with toys in her mouth. Meet Layla, a lovely German Shepherd mix who is always smiling and whose tail is always wagging. Layla is about three-year’s-old and is super friendly. She loves kids, grown ups and other dogs too. She is also smart, already knows how to sit and would make a wonderful family pet!
