Ritchey Roo, estimated to be 5-6 years old, is a joyful and affectionate companion who truly embodies the spirit of a best friend. He's a delightful mix of laid-back lounging and bursts of exuberant energy, always ready to greet you with a wagging tail. Ritchey loves to be by your side, whether it's snuggling on the couch or enjoying time in a fenced yard. He's house-trained and comfortable being left alone for periods. While he can be a quiet observer, he also knows how to express his happiness with enthusiastic greetings, especially when a leash or food is involved. He can be a bit of a gentle giant, and his excitement might lead to some jumping, but with a little guidance, he's a quick learner. Ritchey is a vocal boy who only "speaks" when he has something important to say, often with a humorous touch. He came to us underweight, and at his current 90 lbs, he's ready for a more balanced diet and increased activity. He's mastered the "OVER" command for bed-sharing, showing his willingness to compromise. Ritchey enjoys car rides and walks, though he does require leash training as he can be a strong puller. He's content with lounging at home or exploring the yard, and while he loves company, he's also independent enough to entertain himself. He's adapted well to foster and boarding environments, always being a favorite due to his easygoing nature and good company.
