RIDGE

Male, mixed breed, 6 years old and 46 pounds

Ridge is a spry, active senior with plenty of pep in his step and a zest for life! Weighing in at 46 pounds, this sweet guy may have a little gray on his muzzle, but don’t let that fool you — he’s still got plenty of adventures left in him. Ridge is incredibly food-motivated, which makes training a breeze! He’s still polishing up his leash manners and could use a refresher on basic obedience, but he’s a quick learner and eager to please (especially if snacks are involved!). He had a nice intro with another dog here at the shelter, showing friendly and appropriate behavior. Ridge may enjoy a calm canine companion, but he’ll need to be fed separately, as he prefers to keep his meals to himself.

If you’re looking for a loyal buddy who’s the perfect mix of seasoned soul and playful spirit, Ridge could be your guy. Come meet him and see if he’s the perfect addition to your pack! 🐶❤️

EASY DAY

18 year old retired racehorse

Easy Day is an 18-year-old retired racehorse with a heart as soft as her name suggests. She left the track at age 5 and has spent her post-racing years enjoying a quieter life. While we don’t have details about her past training, she’s affectionate, loves attention, and especially enjoys being groomed- she’ll happily stand for a good brushing session.

She has mild ringbone in her left hind leg, but our vet believes she’s still suitable for light riding. Easy Day would thrive in a calm, patient environment with someone who understands horses and can offer her consistency and care.

Note: She can be difficult to load into a trailer, so she’ll do best with an experienced handler who can work with her gently and confidently.

If you’re looking for a sweet companion with a lot of love to give, Easy Day might be your perfect match.

But with time, patience, and a calm environment, we know she’ll blossom into a loyal, loving companion. We’re still getting to know Betty, but what we do know is that she deserves a forever home that will love her unconditionally and give her all the time she needs to feel safe and secure.
