At just 1½ years old and weighing 56 lbs, Rye is a charming Lab mix who is ready to share his goofy antics and endless love with you. While we suspect he may have some Rhodesian in his genes, as a rescue, his exact ancestry remains a delightful mystery.

First impressions? Rye is as happy as a dog can be! His warm, friendly demeanor makes everyone feel like a best friend, and he treats every day like it’s the best one yet. Sure, he might bounce around when excitement strikes, but this lovable chap has already learned that sitting gets him plenty of chin scratches and treats—a true testament to his intelligence and eagerness to please. 🥳 Rye is affectionate and thrives on being close to his humans. Whether he’s lounging at your feet or leaning in for slobbery kisses, he’s happiest when by your side. As for his canine pals, he’s social, polite, and particularly good with calm dogs. His meet-and-greet skills are impressive, showcasing a respectful and playful approach. And when it comes to cats, he’s met Biggie, our resident feline, with nothing but curiosity and politeness. With a slow introduction, Rye could certainly be a cat-tolerant housemate! 🐱 But the absolute frosting on the cake? Rye is a total kid magnet! He connected immediately with seven-year-old Cash, showering him with gentle love and attention. While he’s naturally eager, he just needs a little guidance to fine-tune his exuberance around younger children. Piecing it all together, Rye is the quintessential family dog for those who want a tag-along buddy! While he needs some leash manners, don’t fret! He’s a smart boy who responds well to corrections and loves treats.
