My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ritchie Rich 💚
Adopt Ritchie

Ritchie may not be the kind of dog who wows you in the first five minutes—but give him a little time, and you’ll see the real Ritchie: a total love nugget with a heart of gold. 💫

Ritchie is a 40–50 lb Australian Kelpie mix who came to us from Bibb County Animal Control. He can be a bit shy when meeting new people (especially men), but once he knows you, his affectionate, silly side shines through. He’s especially fond of the ladies—our volunteer Debbie walks him often and swears he’s absolutely perfect. If her house wasn’t already full, Ritchie would be snuggled on her couch by now!

Ritchie’s the kind of pup who needs a few leash walks and slow intros to build trust. He’s not going to run into your arms on day one—but the bond you’ll build with him is the kind that lasts a lifetime. He’s treat motivated, so making friends with him comes with sweet bribes and tail wags.

💡 Ritchie’s favorite things:

Long walks and hiking adventures

Kisses (once he knows you)

Lady dogs (he gets along better with the gals)

Snacks. So many snacks.

He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for a patient, kind human who will give him the time he needs to blossom.

Ritchie may not show well in the shelter, but trust us—he’s a hidden gem. If you’re the kind of person who believes in second chances, quiet connections, and letting love grow slowly and beautifully... Ritchie is waiting for you.

More about this rescue

The mission of Castoff Pet Rescue is to save and nurture homeless dogs; to match companion animals with loving, life-long homes; to foster responsible pet care; to control overpopulation in our community through spay/neuter programs; and to assist other shelters and rescue groups in any endeavor to benefit the animals. We believe that the same kindness, compassion, and generosity we extend to our two-legged neighbors should be given to our four-legged friends because they are not able to speak for themselves.
