About Ryder

Meet Ryder, an energetic and playful Dachshund puppy looking for his forever home. Right now, he’s not quite ready for a kennel and prefers snuggling in bed with his foster parents at night, waking up only at 3 a.m. to go outside for potty breaks. Ryder loves toys and enjoys playing in the yard, often sharing his time with his Frenchie foster sister, Becky. They both bark plenty, which their foster mom is trying to curb! Potty training is progressing well for Ryder, with fewer accidents than Becky. He’s currently available for local adoption in Sioux Falls until he’s neutered at 5-5.5 months old, with his neuter scheduled for October 23rd. Ryder is vaccinated and gets along great with both dogs and children. He’s ready to bring some joy to your life. Click apply to start the adoption process.
