Ryder **Not Available to Be Seen Until Open House on Wednesday March 11** Good with Kids & Dogs! Meet Ryder! 3 mos./13 lb./Male/Lab/Heeler Mix Name: Ryder Age: 3 months Weight: 13 lbs Breed: Lab / Heeler Mix Status: Ready to ride shotgun in your life ​ About Me: Hey, I’m Ryder — and like my name suggests, I’m built to move. I’m a Lab/Heeler mix pup with a sharp mind and energy to match. Right now, I’m in my “learn everything and try everything” stage, which means I’m curious, observant, and always tuned in to what’s happening around me. I’m likely to grow into the kind of dog who doesn’t just want to hang out — I want to be involved. Morning walks, weekend hikes, training sessions, new skills… I’m wired to stay engaged and connected to my people. Give me direction, consistency, and a little challenge, and I’ll return the favor with loyalty, focus, and plenty of enthusiasm. If you’re looking for a smart, active companion who wants to grow alongside you, I’m ready to get started. Best Qualities: • Alert and attentive • Naturally driven and eager to engage • Bonds closely with his people • Built for movement and purpose My Ideal Match: • Someone who enjoys an interactive, involved dog • A home with daily activity and routine • An adopter who appreciates intelligence and drive ​ Deal Breakers: • Expecting a laid-back couch potato • Minimal exercise or mental stimulation • Little interest in training or engagement ​ Fun Fact: I’m not just along for the ride — I plan on being your co-pilot.
