My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Who is the easiest, most cooperative, and agreeable pooch at HRA? Well, that would be Ridley! We have no idea how such a fabulous dog could end up lost and alone. One staff member even said that Ridley is a “10/10!” Now that’s an endorsement. Another volunteer took him on a field trip and had this to share, `He was the best boy! We walked around for a while and played in the grass. He hardly pulled the whole time. We got in the car and went to Yards Park and walked around. Ridley was so good in the car, fell asleep in my lap and snored the whole way back to the shelter. Such a good boy, so sweet and so well behaved.` Ridley has been a total joy to interact with. His big, wide smile and happy-go-lucky friendly attitude makes him a true winner. And you can be a winner too if you take home this hefty, sweet canine. Meet Ridley today!
