Richard - Australian Kelpie Dog for Adoption in Spokane, Washington

Richard is a goofy, playful guy who brings so much personality wherever he goes! He loves to play, gets super excited for walks, and will happily bounce his way into your heart. After he's had his fun, he's all about cuddles and soaking up attention-this boy truly loves his people.

Richard is house trained and has done wonderful with children. He's been around kids and has always been gentle and affectionate with them, making him a great family companion in the right home.

Richard would do best as the only pet-he isn't a huge fan of living with other dogs and will chase cats, so a single-pet home is recommended. However, he has done amazing in the dog play groups at the shelter.

Richard can be protective of his people and may show some territorial behaviors between adults in the home, sometimes trying to keep one person to himself. Because of this, he's looking for a home that understands boundaries and is willing to help him continue working on feeling secure and sharing attention appropriately. He has never been a concern around children, but he will do best with adopters who can confidently manage and guide him in adult interactions.

With the right structure, patience, and understanding, Richard has so much love and fun to offer. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate dog who will keep you laughing and be your loyal companion, Richard might be your guy.

Richard is currently in a foster home. If you'd like more information or to schedule a date to meet him, please TEXT his foster Kathy at 509-220-8145
