Introducing Ritchie Rich! 🌟 Now, Ritchie may not strut his stuff and capture hearts in the first five minutes—nope, that’s just not his style. But give this adorable boy a little time, and you’ll soon uncover the real deal: a heart-throbbing love nugget with all of the golden charm you could ever wish for! ❤️💛 Ritchie is a handsome 40-50 lb Australian Kelpie mix who made his way into the rescue from Bibb County Animal Control. He can be a bit shy when it comes to meeting new folks, especially men, but don’t worry! Once this boy knows you, his affectionate and silly personality shines brighter than a diamond! 💎 He has a soft spot for the ladies—our lovely volunteer Debbie just adores him and walks him regularly. She’s even convinced he’d be snuggled up on her couch if her home weren't already bursting at the seams! 🥰 Now, Ritchie isn’t the kind of pup who’s going to leap into your arms on day one—no, sir! This precious boy is all about slow introductions and leash walks that help him build that precious trust. Bonding with Ritchie is an adventure filled with sweet bribes (read: treats!) and wagging tails. 🍖🐾 Ritchie’s favorite things include: - Long walks and exciting hiking adventures! 🌄 - Sweet kisses (once he knows you, of course!) 😘 - Lady dogs—he's quite the gentleman with his gal pals! 🐶💖 - Snacks. Oh my goodness, snack time is his favorite time! 🍪 He’s neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready for a patient, kind human who understands that true love takes time to grow. 🌱 So, if you’re the kind of person who believes in second chances, beautiful slow-burn connections, and the magic of blossoming love, look no further! Ritchie is your perfect match just waiting to be discovered. 🌈 If you’re ready to meet your hiking buddy and secret sweetheart, don’t wait any longer!
