About Ridge

Meet Ridge, affectionately known as "Bambi" or "Deer." This gentle, four-year-old Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix weighs just ten pounds and has a calm, sweet demeanor. Ridge thrives on companionship, often following her people around, including newcomers, showcasing her trusting nature. She has a tender disposition with other dogs and shows gentle curiosity about them. Ridge is well-adjusted when left alone, and her friendly nature extends to guests as well as her foster family. She's mostly potty trained with the occasional nervous slip, preferring wee wee pads or outdoor options. Crate trained for comfort, she displays solid leash skills without pulling too much. Ridge understands commands like "paw/shake" and is very food motivated, making training enjoyable. Her daily life includes napping, potty breaks, meals, and lots of cozy time on the couch. Sometimes, she enjoys a playful chase outside, but her primary joy comes from cuddling and snacking. Ridge would flourish with a patient, loving adopter, especially someone who works from home or is home frequently. A calm household suits her best, and she could live happily as the only dog or with another gentle companion. As her foster said, "She is the gentlest soul I've ever met. I was shocked at how quickly she trusted me. She's sweet, affectionate, easy-going... there's literally no person she can't immediately win over." Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
