Richie came to us after he was abandoned by his adopters at the last moment. Although he got along wonderfully with other dogs from the start, the fear from his past in Romania ran deep – for years, walks outside the farm were unthinkable. But thanks to the tireless efforts of our volunteer Inge, a miracle happened: Richie found courage, went on a leash for the first time, and today proudly takes long walks like a big dog! Richie is a kind-hearted, gentle soul who shows us every day that with a lot of patience, love, and of course, a few tasty treats, even the greatest fear can be overcome.
