Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rich is a super friendly, easy-going guy who we believe to be about 3 years old. He loves all types of toys, but chew toys are definitely his favorite! Rich enjoys sunbathing and to his foster mom's dismay, rolling in dirt. He's out of the destructive puppy phase and great on walks - no pulling or tugging! Rich is crate trained and doesnt have accidents in the house. Rich is currently fostered with one other male dog and has done well with most other dogs at events and meets. He can easily be tested with cats, upon request. Additionally, we know Rich does well with kids. Rich has started professional dog training while in foster care, and his adopters will have the opportunity to continue his training to set him up for success. Rich has completed his vet care and is ready to go to his forever home as soon as he finds his humans! His adoption fee is FULLY SPONSORED ($0). If you're interested in adopting, please submit an application at savedbyfate.org and we'll be in touch ASAP! A meet with any approved applicant's current pets and entire family will be required prior to starting the 2-week adoption trial period. Please visit our website savedbyfate.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

SBF adoptions start off with a 2-week trial period to ensure that the SBF dog is a good fit for your family and current pets. The adoption fee is due the day an adopter starts the 2-week trial period. If the adoption does not work out within those two weeks, the adopter will be refunded all but a $50 donation, or they can put the fee towards another adoptable dog.
