Ryder

Ryder, a 25- to 30-pound charmer with a sugar-frosted face will melt hearts. Thought to be a bulldog or maybe pug mix, Ryder is a new arrival who came in as an owner-surrender through no fault of his own. He is ready to find a true forever family. He’s reported to be around 7 years old but may be a little older, is house-trained, and loves toys. He’ll chase a ball with gusto, then settle right into a lap for cuddles. Ryder enjoys feline friends and tends to prefer the lady dogs to the gents. He walks nicely on a leash, too. Ryder will be fully vetted, vaccinated, and neutered before heading off to his forever home. To read more about Ryder and all of the available dogs and apply to adopt online at www.caninerescue.org, or visit the shelter and meet the resident dogs in person from 1 to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday, For more information email adoptions@caninerescue.org.
