Get ready to embark on countless adventures with your new best friend, Ryder! This incredible 1-year-old Australian Shepard mix is a smart, affectionate, and curious boy with a heart as big as the great outdoors. Ryder is a playful pup with a goofy side, always up for exploring the world and making new friends. He's loyal and eager to please, with a moderate amount of energy to keep up with your active lifestyle. At 48 lbs, he's the perfect size for all sorts of activities, and his medium energy level means he's just as happy snuggling on the couch as he is hiking or playing fetch. This clever boy is already potty-trained to use a doggy door and knows several commands, including "No," "Off," "Sit," and "Stay." He's also working hard on his leash training, and with your continued guidance, he'll be the perfect adventure buddy. Ryder is neutered, vaccinated, and ready to find his forever family. An active household with a yard would be Ryder's dream come true, where he can explore, play, and shower his family with love and loyalty. If you're seeking a faithful companion to join you on life's exciting journeys, look no further than Ryder! OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN TEXAS BUT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND TRANSPORT OUT OF STATE.
