This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

Meet Ritchie, a young soul brimming with life and love. His personality is a delightful blend of sweet and friendly, with a dash of goofy thrown in for good measure. Ritchie's curiosity is infectious, making every day an adventure. He's playful too, always ready for a game of fetch or tug-of-war with his favorite toys. But it's not all fun and games with Ritchie. He's also a great listener, always there to lend an ear when you've had a tough day.

Ritchie is working hard on house training and is getting close, but does need a little more practice. He is crate trained and walks pretty good on the leash but still pulls a little especially when he is excited. Ritchie also needs some work on his house manners. He is a smart boy and basic group training classes are recommended to help him learn commands, socialize with other humans and dogs, as well as build that fur-ever bond with you!

Ritchie's love and loyalty are unmatched, and he's waiting to share them with a family that will love him just as much. Adopt Ritchie and gain not just a pet, but a friend for life.

 An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.

As a first step in the adoption process, we ask that you fill out an online application.

Once we receive this, one of our Adoption Coordinators will be contacting you for review.  We are an all-volunteer organization.  We do try to respond to each inquiry within 48 hours.
