Richie
Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Young · 2 years
Richie is a 2-year-old Jack Russell Cross with a heart full of potential. This super sweet but nervous boy hasn't had the best start in life and has missed out on many of the experiences that help dogs feel confident in the world around them. He is searching for understanding adopters who can help him discover that the world isn't such a scary place, allowing him all the time and space he requires to build confidence at his own pace. Once Richie feels comfortable, his lovely personality begins to shine through. He enjoys gently taking treats from familiar people, coming over for a curious sniff hello, and having fun with his toys. A game of fetch is one of his favourite activities, and he is always happy to chase after a ball Richie would love a calm, patient home with adopters who understand that settling in and building confidence is a journey rather than a race! A private, secure garden will give him a safe space to relax, play and explore, as venturing out on walks is currently a little too overwhelming for him. He could share his home with sensible older children of upper secondary school age who can respect he would like a quiet home. Richie would particularly benefit from living alongside another dog (females neutered) as he gains reassurance from following another dog's lead and this would help him adjust to home life. He may also be able to live with cats and small furries, subject to successful introductions. Richie is looking for adopters who are happy to go back to basics, celebrate every small success and understand that he may not be ready for many of the "normal" dog activities straight away. In return, they will have the opportunity to watch this sweet boy grow in confidence and flourish in a loving home.
