About Ryder

Ryder is a cheerful and easygoing boy on the lookout for a fresh start. At 5 years old, he has plenty of playful energy but also enjoys quiet moments. Left behind when his owner moved, Ryder was cared for by a roommate who ultimately couldn't manage the financial burden. Now, he seeks the stability and love he deserves. This affectionate guy loves being around people and appreciates a good butt scratch. He takes treats gently, walks well on a leash, and wants to be part of everyday activities. Already house trained, Ryder keeps his kennel tidy, making his transition to a new home smoother. He has a friendly disposition and gets along well with other dogs, having lived with a housemate before. Though he hasn’t been tested with other dogs outside his previous home, he’s open to friendships. Ryder does have a tendency to hump, so his new family should be ready to guide him through that with patience. Ryder would flourish in an active household that can provide daily exercise and lots of love. Whether you're going for a walk or relaxing at home, Ryder will be thrilled to be by your side. At just 5 years old, he’s got a lot of life ahead of him and is ready to embrace this second chance. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate companion, Ryder might just be the perfect match.
