Ridge was originally found wandering as a stray on a South Dakota Reservation, and he was transferred to MCHS on 6/13/2026 via one of our rescue friends. He is a gentle giant of a dog who currently weighs 76 pounds. He could be around 2 years old and is as nice as they come. He has been vet checked, neutered, and microchipped, and his fee is $150.
Ridge is a large mixed breed boy who has some merle markings and a tail that appears to have been docked, like a Doberman's. We're guessing he could be mixed with at least Doberman, catahoula, and perhaps shepherd. He might need a little basic training but he's willing to please and ready to learn. He loves people and has done okay with other dogs. We honestly don't think he'd have a problem with cats. He will require regular exercise. Kids over 8 would be best due to his size. Ridge is an incredibly social and nice dog. If someone is looking for a velcro dog, Ridge would be a great choice. He's simply the best!
