Ridge - Located in Tennesssee

Description

Some dogs make you work to earn their trust.Ridge is already trying to earn yours.The moment his evaluator walked into the yard, Ridge greeted him with a wagging tail and genuine curiosity. Throughout his evaluation, he kept choosing people. He climbed onto the couch to sit nearby, gently sniffed for treats, happily accepted affection, and handled every bit of the evaluation like an absolute gentleman.He's the kind of dog that makes you wonder how he ended up in a shelter. Friendly and social Gentle taking treats Loves people Walks nicely on leash Easy to handle—even his feet, ears, tail, and belly Dog-friendly during his evaluation Eager to learn and ready for a fresh startHis evaluator summed him up perfectly:"Great dog and he is very eager to learn." Ridge Needs a Medical FosterRidge is heartworm positive and has already started doxycycline. Because of that, we're specifically looking for a medical foster who can provide him with a safe place to recover while he completes treatment.The shelter has offered to cover his heartworm treatment if he remains local, so we're hoping to find a foster in the Memphis, TN area to give this sweet boy the chance he deserves.Heartworm disease is treatable. Ridge doesn't need perfection—he just needs someone willing to open their home and help him through the healing process.Can you give this handsome boy the fresh start he's been waiting for?***********************************************************************MAD Rescue is an official 501c3 foster based rescue organization and does not have a physical location.
