Notes: Ryder is a five year old guy who has a great mix of maturity and adventure. He is already neutered, housebroken, and an absolute dream on a leash. We have also discovered that Ryder is aptly named, as he seems to be a certified car enthusiast. He makes a bee line to vehicles in the parking lot. Whether it is a quick trip to the store or long road trip, we feel that he will be the first one to hop in and claim the passenger seat. Ryder’s personality is as big as his heart. He is the type of dog who expresses his gratitude with kisses. While he is nearly perfect, he finds cats a bit too interesting and tends to get vocal around them, so he may thrive best in a feline-free home.

Most of our dogs are strays, therefore we can only guess whether they are good with other animals or children by observing the behavior of the animal in the kennel and their interaction with the shelter staff.
