Hi everyone, my name is Richie
Richie is a spunky 7-year-old West Highland Terrier with a big personality and plenty of character! This little man is full of terrier charm and is ready to find a home where he can bring lots of fun and love.
Richie is looking for a home that understands his outgoing nature and can help him navigate his friendships with other dogs. He could potentially share his home with a confident dog who can happily match his enthusiasm, but he wouldn’t be suited to living with timid or senior dogs. Richie is also looking for a cat-free home.
With his cheeky personality and spirited nature, Richie would make a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates all the fun that comes with owning a terrier!
If you’re looking for a spunky little mate with plenty of personality, Richie could be the perfect addition to your home!

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
