About Richie

Richie is a sweet and friendly Lab mix looking for his forever home. At about 3.5 years old and weighing close to 50 lbs, he's full of energy and ready for fun. He was surrendered by his previous owner, and while he's still adjusting to shelter life, he has a great demeanor. Though he hasn't had much socialization yet and tends to avoid other dogs, he has plenty of potential to make new friends. Since Richie spent most of his life outdoors, he isn't housetrained yet and will need guidance on leash walking and basic commands. He hasn't been around young kids, but his excitement might lead to some playful knocks. Richie is microchipped, vaccinated, and scheduled to be neutered on September 11th. He can’t wait to meet his new loving family! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
