Richie

My story

Meet Richie! Richie is a sweet, alert pup who loves to relax but stays aware of what’s happening around him. He’s great on a leash and is learning his basic commands. While he can be nervous around new people, he’s good with teenagers once he gets to know them. Because of his shyness, Richie would do best in a home without children under 12. Richie gets along well with other dogs and is fine with kitties, too! He’s affectionate and cuddly with his people, though he can be a bit nervous around strangers. He prefers that visitors give him space to warm up at his own pace. In general, Richie tends to avoid people he doesn’t know, but once he accepts you, he’ll be your loyal companion. He’s still learning to enjoy toys, but he’s absolutely adorable a little nervous at first, but super cuddly once he’s comfortable. Richie would thrive in a low-energy household, and he tends to prefer women over men. His ideal people would be patient and understanding of his initial shyness. Once he bonds with you, Richie will be so excited to see you come home! He’ll even jump into your arms with joy. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle companion who blossoms with a little time and patience, Richie might just be the perfect match for you.
