Ridge is just a baby about 10-11 months old. He was dumped in a public park to fend for himself or die. A good samaritan picked him up and brought him to us. We did not have a foster spot available for him, so he had to go to boarding until a spot opened up.

He is still in boarding over 1 month later. Boarding is not the best place for a young, active puppy that craves attention from people.

Ridge is a loving, smart, eager to please young man who would love to be your running partner or just cuddle up on the couch and watch TV.

Please contact Norma at 713-854-1216  for more information about this dog or to schedule a meet and greet. You can apply online at www.aarfhouston.org/forms . Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet and greet at one of our adoption events. Thank you for considering a rescue!

If you are not sure about making a lifetime commitment to Ridge, how about fostering him. He is stuck in boarding because we do not have a foster available. Normally we would not take in a dog without a foster but we could not leave him at the park where he could be run over or worse picked up for the wrong reasons. You could even start out as a temporary foster for 2 weeks. If it works out, great you can continue to foster. If it does not work out, you have at least given him 2 weeks out of the vets office with all of the smells, noise, confusion and other animals crying in pain. To foster Ridge, please complete our foster application at www.aarfhouston.org/forms.

The adoption fee includes vaccinations, Bordetella, de-worming, rabies, spay/neuter and microchip. There is a an additional $12.99 fee for Home Again for a lifetime registration of the microchip.

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.

NOTE: In our bios, we provide information based on our volunteer's experience with a particular dog; such as temperament, training, and ability to get along with others.
