Description:

Meet Ridge!

What a handsome guy he is with his “satellite” ears and a beautiful brindle coat! Ridge has a sweet temperament to go with his compact size. He is very calm and patient in his kennel and easy on the leash, even when he is excited (unless a squirrel shows up). He gets along well with other dogs and will sit on command. He loves to play and did very well with toys, but seems to prefer playing with other dogs and people.

Ridge does well in a car providing he's not in a crate. He cries when he is. He is not a barker. He has a low woof that he did a couple of times when someone walked in the door. He keeps a clean crate at night. In the house, he is learning a housetraining routine, so needs to still be watched carefully for a while to ensure full compliance.

Ridge has played with toys and they are still intact. He has a soft mouth. No problems with him dropping the toy or ball for me to throw it again. He's not protective of his food - will sit and wait if his foster mom picks up his food dish in the middle of his dinner and puts it down again. He's curious about what people are doing, especially in the kitchen. He likes both men and women. He met the neighbors' dog and did fine. He does like a lap at times but is fine with being next to his humans or the floor is fine with him as well. He took a trip to a small local farmers market and he did great with everything that was going on around him.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
