About Ryder
Ryder is a joyful, easygoing boy craving a fresh start. At just 5 years old, he has enough playful energy to keep you entertained while also knowing how to enjoy those quieter moments. He was left behind when his owner moved away, and the roommate who took him in could no longer support two dogs. Now, Ryder is searching for the stability and family he deserves. This sweet Labrador Retriever loves attention and is always ready for some well-earned butt scratches. He takes treats gently, walks well on a leash, and enjoys being involved in whatever his people are doing. House trained, Ryder keeps his kennel clean, which is a great start for his new home. He gets along with other dogs, having previously lived with one, though he hasn't been tested with dogs outside his past environment. Ryder is known to have a habit of humping, so his new family should approach that behavior with patience and consistency. Ryder would thrive in an active household that can provide daily exercise and enjoys spending time together. Whether you're going for a walk, playing in the yard, or relaxing on the couch, Ryder is up for it. With so much life ahead of him, he is ready to embrace his second chance. If you're looking for a playful and affectionate companion, Ryder may just be the perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
