Our adoption center is located next to CAL Ranch at 232 North Jones (I-95) Suite 170. NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY, just walk right in. Riddick is about 7 yrs old and weighs about 40 lbs. Unfortunately, his owner dropped him off at a shelter and said they could not care for him any longer. FROM HIS OWNER: Riddick has a zest for life that is truly heartwarming. He adores tug ropes and running freely outside, but he also cherishes those cozy cuddles indoors. With some cat-like tendencies, he would often perch on the back of the couch, gazing out the window for hours. Riddick is incredibly gentle with children and has a fondness for people. However, he's not a fan of cats. Car rides bring him immense joy, and he gets along splendidly with other dogs his size outside the home as he does not like to share his person with another dog. Parting with him was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made. We used to go for runs together, and I'd take him to the park with my other dog, where they'd revel in the open space. However, after my children were born, it became challenging to maintain that routine. Riddick, being the adventurous spirit he is, would jump the fence and roam the neighborhood, turning it into a game. I vividly remember chasing him down the road while eight months pregnant, thinking he was just being his carefree self. Unfortunately, this adventurous spirit led to trouble when he jumped the fence and caused havoc in a neighbor's yard, resulting in the demise of a couple of chickens. Concerned about potential repercussions and the impact on our family, we made the heart-wrenching decision to give him up. I've had Riddick since he was seven months old, rescuing him from a difficult situation. He is loyal, free-spirited, protective when needed, but mostly a loving companion. He also loved being called Riddy, his special nickname. A Path 4 Paws holds adoption events at our Adoptions Center, located at 232 N.
