About Richard

Meet Richard! This affectionate 1.5-year-old pup is full of enthusiasm and loves deeply. Richard excels as the ultimate "big helper" around the house. He enjoys playtime, often thinking toys belong on the floor for easy access. His curiosity knows no bounds, and he gets along wonderfully with kids and other dogs. Boundless energy is part of who Richard is, and he still needs to learn how to control it. He doesn't quite realize his size yet, so he’s best suited for an active family that can keep up with him, manage his enthusiastic jumps, and handle his excitement when he spots a backyard bunny. During downtime, Richard proves to be a fantastic house guest. He’s already potty and crate-trained, settling in well for overnight and workday routines. Occasionally vocal, he calms down quickly. If you’re looking for a lively and loving companion to join your adventures, Richard is ready for his forever home. All Pet Central Helps animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention.
