Richard is a calm, curious dog who enjoys exploring the world at his own pace. He’s easy to leash, eager to head outside, and walks with purpose, especially when there are new scents to follow. He’s shown friendly interest in other dogs and often prefers to quietly observe or wander nearby rather than jump into play. In the yard, Richard checks in for gentle cuddles before returning to his independent exploring. Volunteers describe him as thoughtful, sweet, and happiest when he has space to sniff around and take everything in. He may pull a bit at first, but he settles into a steady rhythm once he’s out and moving. Richard’s mix of independence and soft affection makes him a lovely companion for someone who appreciates a mellow, steady presence. Come meet this handsome boy and see the quiet charm that makes him so special.
