Meet Richard, this week’s adoptable pet

Richard is 200 pounds of dynamite in a 40-pound body. Smart, driven, and (almost) endlessly energetic. He loves toys and will chase a ball all day. He is a playgroup superstar that is always the life of the puppy party. But his real calling in life is to be a personal trainer/motivation coach. Looking for a running buddy? He’ll get you ready for a marathon. Looking for someone that makes you get up, get out, and be active? Richard is your guy.

Sadly, pups like Richard have a tough time living the shelter life. He has been waiting as patiently as he can. He appreciates the extra exercise, enrichment, and attention we give him. But he needs to spread his wings with a new best friend.

Richard loves life. It’s time for him to get out and live it.
