Creature of the month

Meet Ricky

Fuhgetaboutit!

Ricky is a mini-donkey, a breed that originated in Sardinia and Sicily and was first imported to the U.S. in 1929. Mini-donkeys are famously affectionate and thrive on human interaction. And despite only getting about three hours of sleep a night, Ricky is always in a fantastic mood.

Born on March 28, 2024, this spirited Aries spends her downtime watching The Godfather trilogy and Nick-at-Nite re-runs with her best friend, Ethel.

As our unofficial Director of Emotional Support, Ricky takes her responsibilities very seriously. In fact, she has one strict corporate policy: zero personal space during office hours. Ricky has a lot of love to give, but she will absolutely micro-manage your visit by leaning directly into your pockets to check for hidden treats.
