Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ritchie. Ritchie is a 5 year old male smooth coated Border Collie.
Ritchie came to our rescue as a stray from a high kill shelter.
Ritchie is one of the nicest dogs you will ever meet. Such a sweet
temperament he has with a gentle soul. Ritchie is more of a companion dog
and is lower on the energy spectrum. This is a dog who wants to forge a
close bond with his person. He is a soft dog and takes a soft command.
Ritchie is well socialized with other dogs and enjoys their company. He is
crate trained, and appears to be housebroken. He walks nicely on a leash
and knows his basic commands.
Ritchie is a bit anxious in the car, so he needs to travel in a crate for
everyone's safety. Although crate trained in his foster home, he is not
eager to get in a crate in the car. He will do it under protest, but he
paws at the bottom of the crate when driving. He has gotten better, so
perhaps a patient person can help him overcome this. So, if you are looking
for a dog to pal around with around your home and to take on walks, Ritchie
is your dog. Also, if you don't know a lot about Border Collies, Ritchie
would be a great introduction into the herding breeds. All in all, Ritchie
is a wonderful dog and he as lots of love to give for many years to come.
If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please fill out an adoption
application. We require a pre-approved application to be on file before any
meet and greets are scheduled. The electronic application can be found on
our website at
