My story

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

Richie is seeking a soft, friendly place to spend his remaining time. He is so very deserving! He came to PACC after being neglected in his previous home for his masses. PACC has been able to remove the biggest masses but unfortunately this boy will need future removals/ ideally an adopter home that could provide him with chemotherapy. PACC will keep him comfortable for as long as possible! He is an AMAZING boy and he deserves the best things in life! In foster care he is affectionate, extremely people and dog social, quiet, and well mannered in the house. HIs favorite things to do are to meet new people that will pet him while admiring his smooshy face, and chase lizards in the yard. With some supervision he is almost entirely house trained, is non destructive in the house when left alone and lower energy. He has done well with a female fearful foster dog, and is non reactive to neighbor dogs when he is out in the yard. He’s the kind of dog that people fall in love with immediately and is likely to be an easy addition to many kinds of homes.
