My story

Introducing Ritchie Blackmore—named for the guitarist of Deep Purple. Ritchie is a sweet pup with a playful heart and a curious mind. He loves to explore the yard and see new things, but is also very relaxed and cuddly and will happily roll over for belly rubs. He loves to play with his favorite toys and then snuggle by your side for some quiet companionship when he’s ready for a nap. Ritchie is a bright, eager learner who’s thriving with gentle, consistent training. He’s making steady progress with crate and house training, leash walking, and basic obedience skills. With patience and consistency, he will continue to blossom into a well-mannered companion. This charming little fluff is searching for a forever home where he can continue to explore, grow, and share his affectionate nature. If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion to bring warmth, joy, and a bit of puppy playfulness into your life, Ritchie could be the perfect fit. HISTORY Ritchie came from a local shelter with his two siblings. HEALTH Ritchie is up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives, heartworm negative, microchipped, and will soon be neutered. PHYSICAL Ritchie is black with tan markings on his cheeks, chest, and legs with just a little bit of white and he has a medium length coat. He will likely be a medium to large sized dog.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ritchie Blackmore , please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
