Meet Ryder, the charming gentleman who's ready to be your loyal companion! 🐶 This sweet soul was unfortunately surrendered to the shelter on February 11 because his owner is moving far away. Imagine Ryder’s confusion and sadness as he tried to hide behind his owner, knowing he was going to be left behind. It’s clear that this loving senior deserves so much more than the bleak shelter life. 😢✨ At 10 years old, Ryder has a big heart and a gentle spirit. Weighing in at a solid 65 lbs, he's a perfect snuggle buddy! 🥰 The incredible volunteers describe him as super friendly and attentive, with a sparkle of intelligence that shines through. Ryder knows all the important commands: sit, down, stay, and shake! He’s always ready to impress and bring a smile to your face. Ryder is house trained and he’s great with other dogs, making him the perfect addition to any home that loves furry friends! If you have a soft spot for senior pets looking for a chill BFF, you absolutely must come and meet Ryder. He has so much love to give! 🥳❤️ He is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and tested negative for heartworms. Plus, he’ll be microchipped upon adoption for that extra peace of mind! Ryder is waiting for you in kennel 858 with ID #16884, ready to steal your heart! 💖 To make Ryder a part of your family, please **apply through the Buddy App** and schedule a visit. Remember, this lovely animal needs to be adopted in person, so don’t wait! It’s Ryder’s time to shine in a warm, loving home! 🏡✨
