About Riggs

Riggs is an 11-month-old Anatolian Shepherd, currently in the large puppy phase as he heads toward adulthood. If you're in the market for something compact, Riggs isn't your guy. He's quite shy and not one for bustling households filled with loud voices. He thrives in quieter environments where he can take his time to adjust. Once he settles in, Riggs proves to be playful, affectionate, and delightfully goofy around those he trusts. He's good with both dogs and cats, making him a well-rounded addition for families or other pet owners. An ideal home for him includes another confident dog that can help bolster his confidence. While Riggs may not rush up to strangers, that's part of his charm. Anatolian Shepherds are more laid-back and thoughtful rather than exuberantly social. With patience and time, you will discover what a loyal companion he can be. This handsome boy requires a securely fenced yard appropriate for a large breed dog and offers fantastic looks to match his personality. If you're considering giving him a forever home, submit an application today!
