Meet Ryder, a terrier mix brimming with personality. Recently featured through the Pack Leader Dogs rescue and training program, he's put in serious work over the last couple of months. Ryder is about two years old, weighs in at around 50 lbs, and flies the flag for both athleticism and affection. Daily life with him is a rhythm—play hard, relax hard, repeat. Professional training has given Ryder a toolkit most dogs can only dream of. He’s calm on the leash, picks up cues like 'sit,' 'down,' and 'place,' and handles crate time like a pro. You'll catch him eager for any outdoor adventure, including running alongside your bike or joining pack walks. Social situations don't fluster him—he genuinely likes other dogs, so he’s a good match for multi-dog homes or active schedules. Cat compatibility is still an open question, but with structure and leadership, he could adapt. Ryder’s ideal people? Someone who thrives outdoors, values routine, and commits to consistent exercise and boundaries. He fits in easily with either a fenced yard or a lively apartment, so long as daily activity is guaranteed. Ryder is waiting in Pomona, NY, ready to bring his balance and enthusiasm wherever he lands. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
