Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Buffalo, Minnesota

Location: Minneapolis, MN

This gorgeous, floofy guy is Ridge! Hailing from the Cheyenne River Reservation, Ridge is a big boy who loves people and is good with other dogs. A gentle giant who loves attention, he will cuddle next to you with his head on your lap, and follow you when you leave the room.

Ridge is a pretty mellow fellow who likes to chew on bones and relax, but he also has a playful side. He will listen when you tell him it's too much. He's also very polite and doesn't beg for food at dinnertime, but if left unattended, he'll quietly stand up and snatch your sausages off the counter.

Ridge loves to be brushed - he's very patient! He's good on a leash, but does have a prey drive so hold on if a rabbit crosses his path. He does well in his crate and rides in the car without any issues!

Everyone that meets Ridge says "oh he's going to get adopted FAST" because he's so perfect!
