The transport date is still to be determined and will depend on how many fosters or adopters we can find for available dogs at the shelter. A committed home is required for Richie to make the trip, and we’re hopeful the right person is out there for him. Meet Richie Richie is the definition of a gentle soul. This calm, easygoing 3-year-old Husky mix is ready for a fresh start and a loving home. He has a relaxed, affectionate personality and truly enjoys simply being near his people. Richie is great on a leash and walks right by your side without pulling, making daily walks easy and enjoyable. He is happiest soaking up affection and will stand quietly beside you for as long as you will pet him, enjoying every bit of attention with his calm and patient demeanor. Richie also has an independent side and is perfectly content wandering around, sniffing, and exploring at his own relaxed pace. He has a lower energy level and does not seem especially interested in toys, treats, or showing off tricks just yet. He is simply a peaceful companion who enjoys relaxing and spending quiet time with his people. Richie did well during dog testing. While he was not much for playing, he happily coexisted with another dog nearby. After some initial sniffing, both dogs settled in and relaxed comfortably together. If you are looking for a sweet, calm dog with a gentle presence, Richie could be your perfect match.
