About Richard

Hi there, I'm Richard! I'm a 1-year-old Coonhound/Shepherd mix who weighs about 60 pounds. I'm full of loyalty, love, and just the right amount of goofy puppy energy. A little while ago, I was a stray trying to survive, and after ending up at a rural shelter, I thought my time was up. Luckily, Take Paws Rescue said "yes" to me and gave me a second chance at life! Now that I'm safe, my true, happy personality is shining through. I'm a super friendly guy who loves being around people and tends to stick close to my person like Velcro – wherever you go, I'll be right there, ready to be your sidekick. I still have some puppy enthusiasm, so I love to play, especially with toys or a good game of fetch. I walk nicely on a leash, sleep well in my crate, and I'm working hard on my house manners. I always do my business outside!

Ideal Home

I think I'd truly thrive in a home with a yard where I can stretch my legs and keep learning my routine. I'm a bit afraid of cats, so a feline-free home would be best.

Ongoing Health

I am neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. I am also kept up-to-date on heartworm and flea prevention.

Training & Support

I need someone who will give me a little structure, consistency, and patience as I continue to figure things out. In return, I'll give you my whole heart and the makings of an incredible best friend!

Application Details:

Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily.
Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application.
The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet.

Transporation

I am currently in foster care with Take Paws Rescue. Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. We may be able to provide transportation within our service area upon approved application.
