Ridge - great car rider! Australian Shepherd & Husky Mix Watertown, CT

Meet Ridge! He is a blue-eyed handsome fella that is about 10 months old. He is looking for his forever home and would love to have a home with a big yard for him to stretch his long legs. He loves to run and play and is learning to fetch doggie toys when thrown. We don't know what his breed is but thinking the blue eyes are from some type of shepherd, maybe Aussie or even husky breed. His sweet disposition resembles a Golden Retriever. Getting him a DNA test would be awesome to find out exactly what he is:)
Regardless of his breed, we do know that Ridge is a very sweet boy learning his potty manners. He gets along well with all sizes of dogs/pups. He has been walking on a leash with a harness and is doing great. He is a very smart boy! He loves to take car rides and will look out the window or lay down in the seat. Go ahead and apply to adopt this sweet boy!!
Ridge Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives.

The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368.

More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds.

If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05.
