Meet Ritz! Some dogs come into your life quietly and then become your whole heart. At 8 years old, Ritz is a German Shepherd and Akita mix who cherishes being close to his humans. Whether it's going for a walk, playing fetch, or relaxing at your feet, he finds joy in simply being with you. Ritz is intelligent and loyal, having mastered kennel and potty training, along with listening well to commands. He thrives on structure and routine, eager to please those he trusts. There’s a calm confidence about him that feels like a long-lasting friendship. Loyal as an Akita, Ritz forms strong bonds and would appreciate being the sole pet in a home where he can receive all the love and attention he deserves. In return, he offers unwavering loyalty and countless moments of joy. Ritz has plenty of love to give and is ready for a forever home. Could you be the one he’s been waiting for? His adoption fee is $150 + tax, covering age-appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and his neuter. Don’t forget, you don’t need an appointment to visit our pets; just drop by and see if Ritz is your new best friend!
