Are you looking for a good, medium sized, human friendly dog but don’t want to go through the puppy stage? Look no further!
Richie is 42 lbs of mixed breed love (we suspect terrier/lab/cattle dog type mix) who is around 6 years old. He’s a Heinz 57 mixture packed with personality! Richie is a retired Houston stray looking for his forever family. Richie seems like he had a family who loved him at one point in his life. He came to us knowing about living in a house, routines, and food times. He knows how to walk on a leash, how to take a bath, and how to behave in a crate. He loves to roll in the grass, get belly rubs, and give hugs. He knows ‘sit’, ‘shake’, fetch, loves playing with toys, and loves kids and people fiercely. He’s also quite the expressive guy, in the best ways.
Richie was picked up as a stray in Houston and never reclaimed. Richie had pesky heartworms and recently finished his treatment. He also had many fractured teeth and required an extensive dental surgery.
Richie is one healthy, happy boy now with no ongoing medical issues. He has a low-moderate energy level and will do well in a variety of home types, but he is a bit dog selective and doesn’t care for most dogs larger than him (c’mon, is he really the first man with a size complex?). Once he decides he doesn’t like a dog, he’s not really interested in working on the relationship 🤣. He seems to do best with female dogs that are smaller than he is. He also seems fine with felines. Please help Richie find is family and be overlooked no longer!
