ryder

Our handsome Ryder is bursting with charm and charisma! He is a good-natured comedian who has traversed the rescue process like a spirited game of hopscotch in which every stop is a grand opportunity to explore the Universe. 

We don’t know Ryder’s history, but if anything bad happened to him, he shook it off in no time. He shows no behavioral evidence of trauma, although he came to us with signs of neglect and malnutrition. We know that he was found as a country stray Animal Control Officers in rural North Carolina. No owner claimed him.

Ryder’s bum luck finally improved when our shelter contact transferred him to our care. Due to his stellar temperament and personality, Ryder has become one of the superstars in our big dog playgroup. He loves all the dogs that he has met here!

Now, it is time for Ryder to live a life of his own, one where the human-dog ratio is more reasonable. He is so full of life and personality, and at just two years old, he still has a bit of the puppy Mojo going on. Ryder is like a kid in a candy shop, soaking up new experiences with sheer glee. He is a super dog that would do well in any type of environment.

Ryder appears to be a Treeing walker Coonhound. He lives up to their lovable reputation. He is a medium sized dog, at a lean weight of 40 pounds. His short, flat, tri-colored coat is easy to groom with minimal shedding. Ryder has a big, goofy personality, and he loves to play.

Ryder is a very happy-go-lucky guy, and would be a great addition to an active family with older, dog savvy kids. He is friendly and will gives everyone in the family equal attention. Ryder is not one to play favorites, and he is very stranger friendly. 

He could also join an active single or couple, who can provide at least one to two brisk leash walks daily, as well as focussed play time so that Ryder can get the exercise that he needs to get his yayas out. 

Ryder has good house manners, and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during his transition to a new home. He has been neutered, and has received routine vaccinations and health screenings.
