ADOPT A PET: Meet Richie
MARIETTA, Ga. – If you dream of coming home to a wet nose, wagging tail and tons of kisses (in addition to, perhaps, a half chewed shoe or overturned trashcan) adopt a puppy from your local pet shelter. According to the ASPCA, approximately 5 million to 7 million domesticated animals enter animal shelters nationwide, every year, and approximately 3 million to 4 million are euthanized. However, you can change those numbers but adopting a “companion” for yourself or your family. Pets are an investment but, in our opinion, an investment well worth the money.
Richie is a three-year-old Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix. He weighs about ten pounds and is full grown. He’s a very energetic dog and needs a fenced in backyard to "have fun and play around".
