You can see more beautiful dogs by visiting our Adoptable Dogs page. Ryder - handsome and charming as a prince while managing to look like a big goofball with his friendly personality and charming freckles! This young Pyr and Anatolian Shepard mix boy has long, very soft fur, and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He wants to be friends with everybody! He loves the resident kitty, and sweetly touches noses with her. As he is part Pyr, he is an occasional barker, letting you know when there are people outside the house. Ryder is a very smart boy, and is leash trained - he enjoys going on walks with his person; he knows “sit,” and catches on quickly and aims to please! He is house trained, crate trained, loves being brushed, and enjoys playing with crinkle toys. “Keep away” is a favorite game! This sweet boy doesn’t dig, and minds the fence, so a 4’ fence would be sufficient. Ryder also loves riding in a vehicle, which he will jump right in for the next adventure. More of his favorites include rolling on his back in the snow or grass, Greek yogurt, bananas, peanut butter (any food really!), belly rubs, and playing in the water! He is medium energy, loving the couch potato life with some outside exercise mixed in - he can be active, but also able to relax. Friendly is his middle name - whether he is meeting a new dog, a cat, or a human! Ryder likes to be right next to his person, giving the “Pyr lean” while waiting for his head to be pet or laying at their feet. He absolutely adores human contact, and he makes great eye contact which makes you feel like he’s your best friend. He loves playing with his foster brother so another dog companion in his furever home would be just perfect, and maybe a cat or two! Ryder is just a very happy and friendly guy who would do well in many situations. His ideal home would be with a family or single person who enjoys hanging out, playing in the backyard or taking him for adventures. This boy just wants someone to give him love and attention, and he promises to return it ten-fold!

Fees for senior dogs (7 or older) and foster dogs will be adjusted accordingly. NYS Registered Rescue # RR102 Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority. We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program. If you can't foster or adopt at this time, please consider helping our Neediest Cases or making a tax-exempt donation by visiting our Donate page.
