Meet the incredible Ritz, a spirited German Shepherd mix who burst into the world more than just a statistic! 🐾 This loving boy arrived at the shelter as a precious six-month-old puppy in June 2025, having faced a harrowing start when he was thrown from a moving vehicle. But let me tell you, nothing dampens Ritz's sweet, bubbly personality! 🌟 Despite such a shaky beginning, this resilient pup has shown us all what it means to not just survive, but thrive! Ritz was quickly scooped up by a family, but like a shooting star, he found himself back at the shelter six months later. You see, young pups like him come with energy and enthusiasm that could light up a room—perhaps the busy lifestyle of his family just didn’t match his puppy zeal! But fret not, because this adorable guy is ready for his next adventure! 🎉 With a playful spirit that will make your heart sing, Ritz already knows how to sit and is absolutely eager to learn even more! He's up to date on his vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped, which means he’s all set to find that forever home. 🏡 Come meet this irresistible boy in kennel 833, and you'll see why volunteers are scratching their heads over how anyone could let him go! Just a heads up, he’s not one to be missed; his ID is 10114, so don’t forget to jot that down! 😍 Ritz is patiently waiting for someone who can match his energy and is ready to arm wrestle with him over a good ball toss!
