About Richie

Richie is still on the lookout for his forever home, having gone through quite a journey. He was found at just 11 months old in a cardboard box on a bustling street, along with his sibling. Unfortunately, while his brother has found a loving family, Richie has faced multiple transitions, prompting a need for stability and care. At around two years old now, he has transformed from a shy pup into a lively little companion that everyone adores. Richie enjoys car rides, playtime with toys, and cozy evenings spent snuggling up for some Netflix. He handles the doggie door like a champ and is fully house trained. Richie would thrive in a secure home with a fenced yard and would appreciate the company of another playful dog to help him continue growing comfortable. His love and loyalty are waiting to be shared with someone ready to commit. Could that be you?
