Meet Ryder! This gentle and friendly guy is likely a Basset Hound mix, estimated to be around 1-2 years old and weighing about 35 lbs. Ryder is a low-rider with a short coat and a heart full of love for people and animal friends alike. He’s housebroken and has mastered the doggie door, although he's still getting used to the crate. With medium energy, he enjoys his morning zoomies, loves walks, and knows how to behave on a leash. Ryder plays well with both dogs and cats, and he’s great with kids too. Ryder is currently preparing for his neuter surgery but will be ready for a home in a couple of weeks. Adopters must be within an hour's drive of St. Louis, MO.
