Riggs is a sweet, gentle, and shy nine-month-old Anatolian Shepherd who came to us from a hoarding case with over 40 dogs. While he was cared for, the sheer number of animals meant he didn't get the socialization he needed. Riggs is a natural introvert who prefers a calm approach and time to observe before engaging. He does well with other dogs and cats, and will thrive in a home with a confident canine companion to show him the ropes. Riggs also needs a fenced yard for his safety and to provide a quiet retreat from loud noises and commotion. He'd do best with children over 10, as he's not a fan of high-energy or loud younger kids. Riggs loves treats, dog friends, gentle people, and a consistent, comfortable indoor temperature. He'd prefer to avoid holidays like the Fourth of July and asks that his new family plan accordingly. He's looking for a laid-back home with a dog buddy, a securely fenced yard, and understanding people who can offer him the structure, kindness, and time he needs to blossom.
