๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿพ STILL WAITINGโ€ฆ AND WE CANโ€™T FIGURE OUT WHY! ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒŸ

Meet Shy Star โ€” the sweetest 74-pound cuddle bug youโ€™ve probably never met, but absolutely should. ๐Ÿ’›

While other dogs come and go, Shy Star continues to patiently wait for a family of her own. And honestly? This girl deserves her happy ending.

โœจ Loves walks and takes neighborhood bunny patrol VERY seriously ๐Ÿฐ โœจ Enjoys zoomies in the yard followed by quality couch-snuggle time โœจ Big fan of squeaky toys, peanut butter Kongs, and snacks of all kinds โœจ Professional veggie taste-tester ๐Ÿฅ• โœจ Fantastic in the car โœจ Calm, brave, and absolutely wonderful at the vet โœจ Greets her favorite people with full-body wiggles and the happiest tail wags imaginable

Every morning starts with her adorable stretch and sleepy smile before she settles in to wait for whatever adventure the day brings. She's the kind of dog who doesn't ask for much โ€” just love, consistency, and someone to call her own. โค๏ธ

Shy Star can be a little reserved with men at first, but give her a little patience and you'll discover an incredibly loyal, affectionate companion who loves with her whole heart.

๐Ÿšซ No cats, please.

After all this time, we're still hoping the right family sees her and realizes she's exactly what they've been missing.

๐Ÿก Could that family be yours?

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ COURTESY POST โ€” MEET LADY! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ

Lady is a 2.5-year-old, 52-pound sweetheart looking for her forever home!

Lady was rescued from a difficult situationโ€”dirty, covered in fleas, in heat, and believed to have had puppies in the past. She's been in foster care since May and has blossomed into a happy, healthy girl. โค๏ธ

โœจ ABOUT LADY:

๐Ÿพ Spayed, vaccinated & microchipped
๐Ÿฉบ Clean bill of health
๐ŸŽพ LOVES fetch & toys
๐ŸŒณ Enjoys the backyard and walks
๐Ÿš— Great in the car
๐Ÿ’ค Loves sleeping, cuddling & being with her people
๐Ÿ’• Thinks she's a lap dog
๐Ÿง  Smart, learning quickly & understands "no"
๐Ÿ  Alert barks at the door, then settles
๐Ÿฆฎ Comes with a harness & leashโ€”she's a strong girl!

Lady is friendly and affectionate with people and loves being wherever her humans are.

๐Ÿถ Dogs: Lady can do well with other dogs but needs slow introductions. She may growl or correct a dog that immediately gets in her face. Give her time and space, and taking the dogs for a walk together helps her settle in.

๐Ÿฑ Cats: She has been around cats and was curious but not aggressive. Interactions were supervised, so slow introductions are recommended.

๐Ÿ‘ง Kids: Lady is good with children, but she's strong and gets VERY excited when playing with toys. Families with younger kids should be mindful of accidental bumps during play.

We believe Lady may have been used for breeding and wasn't exposed to many of the experiences most dogs have early in life. Despite that, she's made amazing progress in foster care and continues to become more social and confident.

Lady is playful, affectionate, smart, goofy, and ready for the stable, loving home she deserves. ๐Ÿกโค๏ธ

๐Ÿ“ฉ Interested in meeting Lady? Please contact Kimberly at Greenovation directly.

โš ๏ธ Lady is a courtesy post and is not in the care of Ridge's Rescue.

๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿพ REST EASY, P**A โ€” OUR BELOVED CRYPTKEEPER ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒˆ

Today, we said goodbye to one of the tiniest, spiciest little souls to ever make her way into the Ridgeโ€™s Rescue family. ๐Ÿ’”

P**a โ€” affectionately known as The Cryptkeeper โ€” joined us on July 8th as a hospice case.

Her little body had been through so much. She was riddled with tumors, we believe she was in congestive heart failure, she was blind, mostly deaf, and had exactly one tooth to her name.

But what P**a lacked in working body parts, she more than made up for in sass. ๐Ÿ˜‚โค๏ธ

From the beginning, we knew our time with her would be borrowed. We didnโ€™t know if we would have days, weeks, or months โ€” so we promised to make every single one count.

And P**a did too.

She loved eating. She loved sleeping. She loved meandering around the house at her own pace. And, most of all, she loved being surrounded by her foster siblings. ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

For almost two months, this tiny old lady got to simply live.

No expectations. No wondering what tomorrow would bring. Just good food, soft beds, canine friends, comfort, love, and a foster mom who made sure she knew she belonged.

Today, P**a peacefully crossed the Rainbow Bridge with her foster mom right by her side. ๐ŸŒˆ

Hospice fostering is never easy. You open your heart knowing it will eventually break โ€” but because of P**aโ€™s foster mom, she didn't spend her final chapter alone. She spent it as part of a family.

And that is everything.

Run free, sweet Cryptkeeper. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿพ

May there be endless snacks, the softest beds, and absolutely nobody telling you what to do.

You were only ours for a short time, but you were so very loved.

Rest easy, P**a. โค๏ธ

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿพ HOW IS SIZZLE STILL WAITING?! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿšจ

Meet Siskel โ€” better known as Sizzle! ๐Ÿ’™

This handsome brindle boy is now 9 months old, approximately 50 lbs, and STILL waiting for his forever family. We truly don't understand how this sweet, goofy guy hasn't been scooped up yet!

โœจ WHY WE LOVE SIZZLE โœจ

โœ… Potty trained
โœ… Crate trained
โœ… Knows Sit, Down, Paw & Wait
โœ… Scratches at the door when he needs to go out
โœ… Learning nail trims
โœ… Working on leash skills
๐Ÿ– Highly food motivated & eager to learn
๐Ÿ’™ Affectionate, loyal & loves to snuggle
๐ŸŽ‰ Full of goofy, boisterous puppy energy!

๐Ÿถ Sizzle LOVES other dogs! He would thrive with another confident canine friend to play with, learn from, and help show him the ropes.

๐Ÿ‘ง Because Sizzle is an enthusiastic 50-lb puppy who doesn't always realize his size, children over 10 are recommended.

๐Ÿฉบ READY FOR ADOPTION!

๐Ÿพ 9 months old
๐Ÿพ Approximately 50 lbs
๐Ÿพ Up to date on vaccinations
๐Ÿพ On monthly preventatives
๐Ÿพ Microchip coming soon

๐Ÿก SIZZLE'S IDEAL HOME:

๐Ÿ’™ Another confident dog
๐Ÿ’™ Kids 10+
๐Ÿ’™ A family committed to continuing his training
๐Ÿ’™ Someone ready for a fun, energetic best friend!

He's spent far too much of his puppyhood waiting.

Waiting for an application.
Waiting for someone to notice him.
Waiting for someone to say, "THAT'S MY DOG." ๐Ÿฅบ

โค๏ธ All he's missing is YOU.

๐Ÿ’ฒ Adoption Fee: $400
๐Ÿ’ฒ $150 refundable neuter deposit

๐Ÿ“ APPLY:
https://form.jotform.com/ridges.rescue/adoption-application

๐Ÿ“ฃ PLEASE SHARE! Every share, comment, and reaction helps Sizzle reach his future family.

9 months old and still waiting. Let's get this boy HOME! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™
