My story

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

🌟 Meet Shy Star – Your Gentle, Wiggly Shadow! 🌟
📍 Available for adoption at Ridge’s Rescue
🕒 Approx. 3 years old | ⚖️ 55 lbs | ✅ Potty trained | 🐶 Dog-friendly

Shy Star greets each day with a happy stretch and a heart full of quiet joy. This sweet, 3-year-old girl is a champion sleeper who won’t wake you up before you’re ready—no early alarms from her, just a calm presence waiting for morning cuddles.

She’s fully potty trained and has lovely house manners, making her an easy and respectful roommate. Star also gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy a friendly canine companion to help her continue building confidence.

Star loves her walks, especially if there’s a chance to scout for bunnies or peek down driveways in search of a curious cat. She’s still mastering her leash manners, but her enthusiasm is all part of the fun. A true foodie at heart, she bravely tries new veggies with the excitement of a five-star chef discovering a new dish!

While she may be a little shy around men at first, Star warms up with time, patience, and gentle encouragement. Once she’s comfortable, you’ll be greeted with a full-body wiggle, tail-wagging smile, and a joy that’s truly contagious. She’s beginning to discover the fun of zoomies and squeaky toys, and it’s a delight to watch her playful side blossom.

Shy Star enjoys soaking up the sunshine in the yard, lounging on the driveway, or just being by your side in the house. She’s the perfect mix of outdoor explorer and loyal cuddle companion. Car rides? She’s in! Vet visits? A total champ, friendly and calm even during pokes and prods. And don't even get her started on Kong toys stuffed with peanut butter—her absolute favorite treat.

Star is looking for a patient, loving home where she can continue to build confidence and feel safe. If you’re someone who values a deep bond, quiet companionship, and a dog who will adore you with her whole heart, Shy Star is ready to be your forever friend.

✨ Adopt Shy Star from Ridge’s Rescue – and let her bring a little more sparkle to your life. ✨
