Ridge is an 8-month-old Anatolian Shepherd mix who, despite a difficult start in a hoarding situation, has emerged as a sunny and social pup. He's playful, gregarious, and genuinely happy to be here, enjoying the company of people, other dogs, and even cats. Ridge is a big, opinionated puppy who is growing into a very large adult dog, and his adopter will need to understand the breed and be prepared to provide structure. He's not a sad sack; Ridge has decided life is excellent, and he's ready to share that enthusiasm with his forever family. He's already tall and still growing, so be prepared for a very large dog! Ridge is a social, funny, dog-friendly, and cat-friendly young dog who is ready for a home that will give him guidance, boundaries, room to play, and the chance to grow into the good boy he is clearly on his way to becoming. Bonus points if your vacuum stays in the closet and your Roomba has already made peace with its own mortality!
Ideal Home
Ridge is recommended for a home with children over 10 years old. He will also need a fenced yard and is not suited for apartment living or a casual leash-walk-only setup. This is a dog for someone who understands the Anatolian Shepherd breed and is ready for a very large adult dog.
Ongoing Health
No specific health concerns are mentioned.
Training & Support
Ridge is still learning to use both his brain and body, so guidance and boundaries are essential. He has a notable distrust of Roombas.
