🌟 Meet Rye, the delightful and sweet companion you've been waiting for! 🎉 Just like the name suggests, he's a slow rise kind of guy - a gentle soul who's all about taking his sweet time to warm up to new friends. Initially, he might be a tad reserved, especially around men. But don’t worry! With a sprinkle of patience and maybe a few tasty treats, he will knead his way into your heart. ❤️ Once Rye charts a path to your affection, get ready for some pure joy! This playful buddy transforms into a wiggly, silly, and wonderfully affectionate dog. 🥰 He embodies the belief that the best things in life, like freshly baked bread and fantastic furballs, are truly worth the wait! Now let’s talk specifics for those who want to bring this charming fellow into their lives! Rye gets along well with respectful, dog-savvy kids aged 8 and up. However, due to his high prey drive, he would prefer a cat-free home and no chickens, please, folks! 🐱🚫 He is also open to sharing his space with other dogs, with all introductions completed at the shelter. Rye’s ideal living situation includes plenty of enrichment and exercise, making him a good candidate for apartment living. And guess what? He appears to be potty trained! 🎉 Plus, there's no bite history with this sweet boy! To ensure he becomes the best possible version of himself, he will need to attend one private, positive reward-based training class. Oh! And before heading to his new home, Rye will need a microchip provided by WHS. 🐾 So, if this fluffy ball of joy is tugging at your heartstrings, why wait? Apply to adopt Rye through the Buddy App today, and embark on a journey filled with love, laughter, and those warm, wiggly hugs! 💕
