My story

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

'Riddick'ulously sweet Riddick is a 3-4 year old, 75 pound dog, who is looking forward to an amazing forever family who will include him in all the fun adventures and lazy day snuggles, he is a master at both.

This boy is very easy going and loves car rides, trips to pet friendly stores, Sunday pack walks, the farmers market and play dates with new friends. He’s a take anywhere dog who has been known to fall asleep at breweries. He also enjoys having some outdoor fun at home, yard zoomies, chasing the stream of hose water, supervising lawn mowing and sunbathing. Riddick also rolls over on his back for a belly rub from the vet and is perfect for nail trims.

He is housebroken and crate trained, knows sit and down and has good recall. He does have some mild separation anxiety and prefers to be included in as many family activities as possible. He is not destructive when left alone in the house, but would likely be more comfortable with a confident four legged sibling by his side.

He has been very polite with respectful neighborhood kids, but is not in a foster home with children.

Riddick has allergies, but this sweet boy does not let any allergy affect his great outlook on life. He is currently on food suited to his allergy needs and gets a good wipe down when coming in from a walk or roll in the grass.

Riddick is a truly special pup looking for an extra special family to call his own, if that's you, don't pass him up!
