Riddrick

Meet Riddrick, a golden-hearted six-year-old mixed breed from Oklahoma City, OK, whose essence is loyalty, warmth, and unwavering companionship wrapped in a soft, sun-kissed coat of orange, tan, and light brown.

At around 60 pounds, Riddrick is a medium-sized pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. His expressive eyes have a way of looking right into your soul, reminding you that you’ve got a best friend by your side—one who’s ready to walk with you, sit beside you, and simply be with you, every step of the way!

Riddrick absolutely loves his walks—they’re his favorite way to explore the world and bond with his people. He’s high-energy at heart and needs space to roam, so a fenced yard and a bit of daily adventure keep his tail wagging. He knows basic commands like “sit,” “down,” and “heel,” and with some continued positive reinforcement and structure, he’s ready to keep learning.

Though he's a playful and affectionate companion, Riddrick is also protective and will bark at unfamiliar people or noises. He’s not suited for small apartment living and would thrive in a calm, adult-only home or one with older children who understand how to give him space when needed. He gets along well with other dogs and cats and truly enjoys having company—both furry and human!

Riddrick is neutered, house-trained, and up to date on vaccinations. He does have some separation anxiety, especially when left alone for long hours, and loud noises like thunderstorms, fireworks, and tornadoes tend to stress him out. A steady routine, plenty of interaction, and a safe, cozy space go a long way in helping him feel secure. Weekly brushing is a must (he’s a shedder), and he could benefit from a dental cleaning to keep those pearly whites shining.

This sweet boy isn't just a dog—he’s family. He’s ready to fill your days with devotion, charm, and soulful gazes. Reach out today to learn how you can give Riddrick his next loving home!
