About Colonel

Meet Colonel, formerly known as Ryder! This young German Shepherd is around 2 years old and located in Bayville, NJ. After completing his training at HappyGentle Dogs in Texas, Colonel is ready to join a loving forever family. He's good with other dogs, and it's important to take things slow with introductions as he adjusts to his new home. Time to decompress is essential, and support will be provided to his new family throughout the transition. The training Colonel received should continue after adoption, so patience and consistency are key for his new family. We encourage anyone interested in adopting him to have Zoom sessions with HappyGentle Dogs for insights on his training. Are you ready to provide Colonel with the home he deserves? Apply through Trina & Friends K-9 Rescue.
