Ridley is a Boxer mix with a big heart and a deep bond to his people. He’s affectionate, expressive, and happiest in a calm, predictable home where he can relax and stay close to those he trusts. Belly rubs and booty scratches are his favorite ways to connect.
Ridley has moderate‑to‑high energy and does best with routine and appropriate outlets. A long daily walk, consistent schedule, and calm handling help him regulate and settle easily at home. When his needs are met, he’s a well‑mannered companion who enjoys downtime just as much as activity. He has excellent house manners, is dog‑door trained, nail scratch‑board trained, comfortable being home alone, and does not require a crate.
He is sensitive to busy, chaotic environments and would do best in a quiet, adults‑only home with no other pets. While not a dog‑park type, Ridley is deeply loyal once trust is established and gains confidence from being with his people—ideally in a home with more than one trusted adult.
Ridley is treat‑motivated and responds best to calm, clear, and consistent guidance. His medical care is straightforward and well managed; he receives monthly Librela injections and does best with a consistent diet and daily medication given easily with meals.
Ridley’s ideal home values structure, routine, and a peaceful environment. A yard is a plus, but patience and consistency matter most.
Adoption requirements: Behavior consult, adults‑only home, no other pets.
