About Richie

Meet Richie, a delightful little guy looking for his forever home. At just 4.5 pounds, he's a Yorkshire Terrier mix with a huge heart and a gentle disposition. Initially a bit shy, Richie warms up quickly and becomes a loyal companion. This quiet and easygoing fellow is mostly potty trained and does well in his crate. He gets along splendidly with other dogs, is great with children, and even manages to coexist peacefully with cats, mostly ignoring them. Richie shares a special bond with his buddy Conrad, though he’s perfectly ready to find a loving family of his very own. Adoption events are happening this weekend, and you can also arrange to meet Richie directly in his foster home. He’s neutered, vaccinated, and ready for a new chapter with someone who appreciates his charming personality. Start your journey together with Richie; he’s just waiting for a loving home to call his own!
