Ryder

They are everywhere. Yellow "lab-type" dogs. In your neighborhood, at the shelters, part of your local rescue group. They often get ignored. But, I am here to tell you...

I am NOT just another yellow dog!

My name is Ryder. I am about 5 yrs. old, 80 pounds and full of love!

I have been through a lot in my short life. I have been shot, broken a leg, been adopted and then returned (thru no fault of my own) and abandoned to fend for myself more then once. But, despite it all I am loving, gentle and incredibly smart!

I am heartworm negative and taking a preventative to make sure I stay that way! I have all my shots, I am neutered and very healthy.

I an housetrained,crate-trained, have my basic commands down pat (sit, stay, lie down) and I walk well on the leash. I like to catch toys in mid-air and retrieve them, go for walks or a run and play in the water.

I am very polite at dinner time and I do not beg. When it comes to my own food I am not aggressive with people, although I don't care for other animals coming near my food bowl.

I don't mind cats, but I have proven a little untrustworthy with other dogs in the home. I do fine around them while walking, or at adoption events, but I want your attention all to myself at home! I am most partial to women and children but, once I get to know men (and I am sure they will be kind to me). I like them too!

I need an owner who will Love me, Protect me, and Care for me the rest of my life. I don't want to move around anymore!

Wouldn't you like a calm, well-behaved guy who will be devoted to your family forever? Because, I would like to be that guy for you!! Help me to convince everyone that I am not just another yellow dog!
