About Richard

Meet Richard! This energetic German Shepherd is about 2.5 years old and weighs around 75 pounds. With his goofy one-ear-up, one-ear-down look, he grabs attention and hearts alike. Richard thrives on mental and physical activity, enjoying toys, ball games, and even kiddie pools. He's smart and treat-motivated, making him a dedicated learner, but he requires an experienced, adult-only home with a spacious, secure yard. Richard's past has involved some mouthiness and leash grabbing when he's excited, so consistent guidance and a structured environment are essential. Be aware, he has a strong aversion to hoses, which will need careful management. With the right setup and understanding, Richard can be a loyal and fun-loving companion, ready to stay active with his new family. He’s neutered, house trained, and up to date on vaccines.
