Meet Ryder! This charming 1-year-old neutered male Irish Setter mix is ready to steal hearts and provide endless joy! 🤗 At 39 lbs of pure love and energy, he’s a clever little fellow with an impressive repertoire—you'll find him already knowing some basic commands like sit, shake, and down. And when he needs to go outside, he showcases his smart side by heading straight to the door! 🚪✨ Now, Ryder may be a bit particular about his personal space; while he likes to keep things chill, he sometimes prefers a little distance when it comes to body contact, especially around his hind area. This could be due to his recent neutering, but it’s a gentle reminder that he’s adjusting to life after surgery. ⚠️ Plus, he’s got a bit of a food-guarding tendency—so during mealtimes, it's best to respect his space. Because of this, a home with younger children might not be the best match for this sweet boy. However, don’t let that dissuade you! Ryder has shown great promise with other dogs and even offers playful bows—talk about making friends! 🐾 A meet and greet is definitely encouraged to see how well he gets along with potential furry companions. With the right guidance, structure, and understanding, Ryder is set to be an absolutely wonderful addition to the right family. Don’t miss the chance to bring this affectionate spirit home!
