Background

Richard had a soft spot for all animals and never left a stray to fend for itself. He had a penchant for gifting these additions to his household with fun and silly names, often with a nod to how or where said animal was found (Trash Can and Boot Rear being two of the most memorable). He would be proud to know his legacy lead to the aid of a new generation of animals in need. Contribute to Best Friends Animal Society  Right arrow
