About

Meet Riggs

Riggs is happy, outgoing, and looks to be a purebred black lab. He originally arrived at our shelter on 10/30/2023 when he was around 9 months old, after being found as a stray. He was adopted shortly after, but was returned after over 4 months in his home when there was a big change in his family's situation. He's now a little over a year old and is a typical young lab who has never met a stranger. Everyone is his bud! He has been fully vetted and chipped and his fee is $150. Riggs has had a little basic training and is smart, enthusiastic, and eager for more. If he can learn to harness his enthusiasm, he'll be unstoppable. He has matured into a pretty large and strong dog who should do okay with dogs of similar size and energy (so much energy!). He's been known to play a little too rough with smaller dogs and probably would be too much for cats. Kids over 5 would be best for him. He loves car rides, too! NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications can be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South.
