🌟 Hello, wonderful people! Meet the enchanting Ryder, a gentle soul who has emerged from a shadowy past and is now ready to find his forever home. 🐶 This brave pup arrived at the Olive Branch Animal Rescue with 17 other furry friends, all fleeing from a less-than-ideal situation. You see, Ryder is a little skittish when it comes to human touch—but once that trust is established, oh boy, he's a sweetheart! 💖 Picture this: after you earn his affection, he’ll reward you with delightful kisses on your cheek! ❤️ Ryder has a soft side that simply melts the heart, but it’s essential to understand his needs. He prefers a calm environment and isn't too fond of overly energetic dogs, as they remind him of past hurt. 🐾 He thrives in the company of gentle companions who understand the beauty of a peaceful life. Now, let’s talk health! Ryder is neutered, fully vaccinated, and up to date on all his preventatives. Praise paws, he is also negative on his heartworm test! 🥳 If you’re seeking a loving, gentle canine companion who needs a little extra love and understanding, Ryder could be the perfect match! 🐾 For those who wish to meet this delightful pup, it's important to note that potential adopters must apply through the Buddy App and come to meet him in person. Let Ryder steal your heart! ❤️
