Ryder is the kind of dog who melts your heart the moment you meet him. This sweet, snuggly boy is happiest when curled up beside his people, soaking up all the love he’s always deserved. Life hasn’t always been kind to Ryder, he’s been let down by humans in the past and even found himself in a vulnerable situation with other dogs that, unfortunately, led to an incident and his rehoming. But that chapter of his life is firmly behind him, and he hasn’t let it dim his gentle, loving spirit.

With the right guidance, Ryder has truly blossomed. He recently completed a month-long board and train program, where he impressed everyone with how quickly he learned and how eager he is to please. Today, he walks beautifully on leash, enjoys socializing with other dogs, and continues to show us just what a wonderful companion he can be. Ryder is more than ready to find his forever family, a family who will give him the love, patience, and stability he’s always longed for. Whoever opens their heart to this boy will be gaining the most loyal, cuddly best friend they could ever hope for.
