Ridge

Ridge is an 8-month-old Anatolian Shepherd from our recent hoarding case, and somehow this boy came out of that mess sunny and social. He is playful, gregarious, and genuinely happy to be here. <br/><br/>Ridge likes people, likes other dogs, and is good with cats. He is still a puppy, but he is a large, opinionated puppy who is growing into a very large, opinionated adult dog, so his adopter needs to understand the breed and be ready to provide structure.<br/><br/>Ridge is not a sad sack. He is not hiding in a corner wondering whether life is worth it. Ridge has 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.<br/><br/>Because he is young, big, and still learning how to use both his brain and his body at the same time, we are recommending kids over 10. He will also need a fenced yard. This is not a dog for an apartment, a casual leash-walk-only setup, or someone who thinks an Anatolian is just a fluffy golden retriever with better cheekbones.<br/><br/>Ridge is a really nice young dog. He is social, funny, dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and 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.<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at https://bigfluffydogs.com/dog-adoption/ then email summer@bigfluffydogs.com. <br/>Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process.<br/><br/>NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM PETFINDER: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION.
