Meet Raider – this courageous miracle dog is here to steal not just your heart, but your soul! 🌟 At just 4 years old, this tender-hearted Terrier/Lab mix has a story that will tug at your emotions and make you realize how incredible resilient animals can be. Weighing in at 61 pounds, Raider is a gentle giant who has faced unimaginable cruelty but still greets the world with love and hope. 🥹 Once a victim of the dog-fighting ring, Raider spent too long in a world filled with pain. When he finally escaped his tormentors, he crawled to a loving family who welcomed him with open arms. This family named him Raider and showered him with the love and care that every dog deserves. He underwent a miraculous transformation from a battered spirit to a healthy and affectionate companion. Today, he is neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on all of his vaccines. 🌈 Raider is not just a survivor; he’s a cuddler extraordinaire! 🤗 He adores being around people, especially children, and loves laying his sweet head on your lap for hours on end. Imagine the joy of snuggling with this loving boy! But don’t let his gentle demeanor fool you—he is a dog with a spirit rooted deeply in survival. Due to his traumatic past, Raider has some fears, particularly when it comes to other dogs. He would thrive best as the only pet in a quiet and loving home where he can finally feel safe and adored. He deserves a family that is patient and kind, willing to help him experience all the joys of life that he has long been denied. 🏡❤️ Unfortunately, Raider's foster family is moving and cannot take him along. He urgently needs a forever home or a long-term foster to keep this miracle dog safe. Will you be the one to change his life forever? 🌟 You can bookmark Raider's journey right in the Buddy App, and *please, apply through the Buddy App to help this deserving soul find his true home*! 🐾
