Ridge is an 8-month-old Anatolian Shepherd who, despite a difficult start in a hoarding situation, has emerged with a wonderfully sunny and social disposition. He's playful, gregarious, and genuinely happy to be here. Ridge enjoys the company of people and other dogs, and he's also good with cats. While he's still a puppy, he's a large and opinionated one who is growing into a very large and opinionated adult. His adopter will need to understand the Anatolian Shepherd breed and be prepared to provide consistent structure.
Ridge is not a sad sack; he's decided life is excellent, dogs are fun, people are useful, cats are acceptable, and the Roomba is a demonic floor creature that should not be trusted under any circumstances.
Ideal Home
Because he is young, big, and still learning to manage both his brain and his body, we recommend a home with children over 10. He will also need a fenced yard. This is not a dog for an apartment or someone who only plans for casual leash walks. An adopter must be ready for a very large dog as an adult; Ridge is already tall and still growing!
Ongoing Health
Ridge is a healthy young dog with no known ongoing health conditions.
Training & Support
Ridge is still learning. His adopter should be prepared to provide guidance, boundaries, and positive reinforcement to help him 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.
