This handsome 5-year-old, 21-pound guy has a story that proves he's a survivor! Ryan came to us after being found as a stray, carrying a large wound on his back and a little nervousness around new people. The wound was just a reminder of the tough life he'd had, likely from scratching due to flea irritation, and with some care and time to decompress, Ryan has shown just how resilient and loving he really is. Ryan is a one-of-a-kind dog. His goofy underbite, intense head tilt (especially when a squeaky toy is nearby), and overall spunky personality make him impossible not to adore. He's the perfect mix of chill and playful content to lounge and nap quietly, but the second you approach, he's ready to go go go! He loves long walks, playing with other dogs, and chasing his favorite toys. He's also very food motivated and already knows a couple of tricks like sit and shake, making him an eager learner for more treats and training fun. This little guy thrives with patience. He's not a fan of sudden hand movements or being restrained, so he'd do best in a home without small children. Older kids (12+) and attentive adults who give him time to feel safe and loved will see the best version of Ryan which is a loyal, silly, and endlessly entertaining boy. Ryan is more than ready to bring joy to a home that will appreciate his unique personality. Once he trusts you, he'll follow you everywhere, nap by your side, and brighten your days with his quirks and charm. Could he be the loyal, goofy, and loving buddy you've been waiting for?
