Lik-a-Stix's Story

Meet Lik-a-Stix, a 4-year-old male German Shepherd mix who's ready to leave his stray days behind and find a loving home. 💙🐶 This handsome guy was found as a stray and came into care a bit underweight, so he's currently looking for a family willing to give him a little extra TLC, good meals, and lots of love while he gets back to feeling his best. 🍖✨ Lik-a-Stix is friendly and affectionate with people and enjoys attention. One of his favorite things is leaning into his humans for pets and soaking up the love. He can be okay with other dogs, though he tends to be a bit dominant when greeting. After the initial introduction, he has shown that he can settle and share space, but he may be reactive at times. Because of this, he would likely do best with a calm, polite dog companion who respects boundaries. 🐕 Due to being intense around food, a home with kids 10 and up would be the best match for him. He will also need a home without cats. 🚫🐱 Lik-a-Stix would benefit from a breed-experienced adopter who understands shepherd mixes and can provide structure, guidance, and continued confidence building. With the right person, he has all the potential to become a loyal and devoted companion. 🐕‍🦺 If you're looking for a smart, affectionate dog who just needs a little stability and care to thrive, Lik-a-Stix might be the perfect fit for your home. 🏡💙 Primary Color: White Weight: 47lbs Age: 4yrs 0mths 1wks Animal has been Neutered

Richmond Animal Care and Control's Adoption Policy

At RACC, our focus is on same-day adoptions. Anyone interested in adopting an animal, along with all household members, must visit the shelter in person to meet and interact with the animal(s). During the visit, RACC staff will ask a series of questions to determine if the animal(s) would be a good fit. Once an appropriate match is made, the prospective adopter will need to complete an adoption application, which will be reviewed and approved or denied immediately. For dog adoptions, any resident dogs must also attend the meet-and-greet. Kittens 4 months or younger must be adopted in pairs or have another cat at home to ensure proper socialization and prevent Single Kitten Syndrome. Adoption fees cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, flea/tick prevention, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, heartworm testing (for dogs 6 months and older), and FeLV/FIV testing (for cats). Adoption fees: - $100 adoption fee for dogs, puppies 5 months or older, cats, and kittens - $150 adoption fee for puppies 4 months or younger - Cats and kittens may be adopted two for the price of one - Adoption fees may be waived for medical or space reasons at management discretion
