Wave hello to Ridley — soon to be your favorite pet of the week!

Ridley is a 6-month-old mini dachshund from Lockport, Illinois. Known more affectionately as Ms. Lady, Ridley is a shy pup with an adventurous side.


First day home

She was very shy on her first day home and jumped in fear every time she heard a noise. But as soon as she met the kids (her new siblings), it was love at first sight! Since then, she has become a central member of the family.
