My story

Ritz is a 2 yr old male Shepherd mix that weighs 66lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 3/18 as a stray. He’s has energy of a young puppy. He happily pranced and galloped back-and-forth in the shelter yard. At one point he chased some balls, but he didn’t retrieve them. As he was done in the yard, he checked out all of his surroundings. He’s very alert and curious. He does jump on you. He gets down when told to do so, but he will need some manners training to learn not to do this. He also sits for treats but will need to learn to take them gently. I know he’s smart and he’s highly motivated by treats so he should be a quick learner. He’s friendly, happy, playful, and very affectionate. He walks OK on a leash. He’d be best suited for an active family. He would not do well in an apartment due to his energy level. He will need a yard and/or frequent exercise to expend some of his energy. But then he would want to come in and curl up next to you on the couch or in his own soft bed.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ritz, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
