Hi, my name is Ridley. I am a Border Collie/Lab mix (with possibly something else mixed in because I am so small).This is my baby picture and when my Mom saw me on the internet she couldn't resist me! Unfortunately, somebody did not spay my real Mom and she had seven puppies that nobody wanted. Three of us were rescued by a kind lady at the Lyon's Den Rescue in Pennsyvlania but the fate of my other siblings is unknown.

I stayed at the rescue for quite some time, you see, not many people want black dogs. Isn't that sad? I was so cute and fluffy and such a nice boy that I thought someone would surely give me a new home right away. Thank goodness my Mom found me! I did not have a very good time on the car ride home - I get car sick, so the 2 hour drive was pretty rough for me. But, once I got to my new home I got to meet my new big brother, Gus, and boy was I excited - it made me forget all about that icky, bumpy car ride.

I settled in to my new home immediately. My Mom is SO nice. I love to snuggle with her and I like her to hold my paw - I feel so safe when she does that.

I am also very smart just like my big brother. I quickly learned how to ring the bell at the back door to go out and sometimes I like to just stand at the door and ring it to hear the sound it makes. My Mom taught me some tricks, too. She taught me to sit, stay, lay down, jump, shake and bark.

I'm so glad that my Mom rescued me and she always tells everyone that rescue dogs are the BEST!
